Comparing 2 Dates: Client Script + Script Include

[mark141230]

Good Day Everyone!

Need your expertise on my requirement. I have 2 date/time field in a record producer named "stored date" and "new wallet expiry" date. I read that you need to create a client script using glideajax and script include to run this on server side. I created the script but seems not working at all.

Client Script: ValidateNewExpiryDate

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }

//g_form.hideFieldMsg('new_expiry_date'); // give your variable name here
	
	var newexpdate = g_form.getValue('new_expiry_date');
	var storeddate = g_form.getValue('stored_date');

	var ga = new GlideAjax('checkRecords');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'chkCatEndDate');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_newexpdate',newexpdate);
	ga.addParam('sysparm_storeddate', storeddate);
	ga.getXML(SvcCatalogCheckEndDateParse);
	
	function SvcCatalogCheckEndDateParse(response){
    
		var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
        
		if(answer == true){
			
			alert('New Expiry Date should not be earlier than Stored Date');
            //g_form.setValue('new_expiry_date', '');

}
  }
    }

Script Include: checkRecords

var checkRecords = Class.create();checkRecords.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
	
	
	
	
	chkCatEndDate: function() {

	var start = new GlideDateTime(this.getParameter('sysparm_storeddate')); //Passing the start date from the client
	var end = new GlideDateTime(this.getParameter('sysparm_newexpdate')); //Passing the end date from the client

	var dif = GlideDateTime.subtract(start.getNumericValue(), end.getNumericValue());//Get the Different between dates.

    gs.debug("Hello DIF"+ dif);
	if (dif <= 0){


      return false;
	}
	else
		{

      return true;
}

	},
    type: 'checkRecords'
});

Not sure why it is not working. By the way this is a scoped application.

I mean you can refer this logic code to reuse for your validation, this is only client side without ajax call.

this can be achieved using UI policy and no GlideAjax required

you can achieve this without GlideAjax as well and only client script
