long epoch = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss").parse("01/01/1970 01:00:00").getTime() / 1000; Timestamp in seconds, remove '/1000' for milliseconds. date +%s -d"Jan 1, 1980 00:00:01" Replace '-d' with '-ud' to input in GMT/UTC time.

Hi tiagomacul , 

This function is not working. Getting "0"value as an output for below line.

vDateTmp = new GlideDateTime(vDate).getNumericValue() / 1000;
