AX 2012 - Don't show seconds in time

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi all,

  I am using the following code to convert a variable of type TimeOfDay to a string:

time2str(timeComponent, TimeSeparator::Colon, TimeFormat::AMPM));

  The problem is that the time is being shown in the following format (as a string):

06:00:00 pm

  Now, I want it to be displayed in this manner:

6:00 PM

  As you can see, the first 0 in the hour has been removed.  The seconds have also been removed and the pm is displayed in capital.

  How can I do this please?

    Hi

    Try something like this :

    DateTimeUtil::toFormattedStr(DateTimeUtil::utcNow(), 123, 2, 4, 2, 4, 4, 1, 1, DateFlags::None);

    Hi Denis.

     First of all, I am terribly sorry for the long delay to respond to you.

     Unfortunately, I couldn't find a solution for my problem.  However, the client decided that this was not such a big issue and accepted the feature as it was.

     Thank you so much for your answer.  Again, sorry for the late response.
