Dear all

I need to convert to one date field to date and time format.

I first convert to date to string format, then i convert to datetime format.

in that data field type is Date, the same data field i used so many places. so i want the conversion details, any one pl help.

i tried but, one function its worked another one not worked. details follows

variable declaration:

str SFdate,STDate;

utcdatetime DTFdate,DTTdate;

1st conversion (date field to string data type) - working fine

SFdate = date2str(FDate,123,DateDay::Digits2,DateSeparator::Slash,DateMonth::Digits2,DateSeparator::Slash,DateYear::Digits4);
STDate = date2str(TDate,123,DateDay::Digits2,DateSeparator::Slash,DateMonth::Digits2,DateSeparator::Slash,DateYear::Digits4);

2nd Conversion (string type to datetime data type) - not working
DTFdate = str2datetime(SFdate,321);
DTTdate = str2datetime(STDate,321);

Advance Thanks

If I understand you goal correctly, you can simply write:

dtfDate = DateTimeUtil::newDateTime(sfDate, 0);
