How do use gs.monthsAgoStart?

[zsquared]

Hello,

I am having trouble understanding how to use the gs.monthsAgoStart()

I am just trying to find the date 3 months from today.

var newTime = new GlideDateTime();   
   var startTime = gs.monthsAgoStart(3);

Not sure where I am supposed to put my newTime variable..

Here you go

var newTime = new GlideDateTime();      

newTime.addMonthsLocalTime(3);

var startTime= newTime.getValue();

monthsAgoStart gives you the first day of the month 3 months ago.

Example:

var date = gs.monthsAgoStart(3);
gs.print(date);

Gives a result of August 1st, 2016 if run during November 2016

You should use monthsAgo.

Example:

var date = gs.monthsAgo(3);
gs.print(date);

Gives a result of August 10th 2016 if run today November 10th 2016

Note: The result is in GMT and includes the time as well

For some reason, my date is not printing when I try to do this:

var newTime = gs.monthsAgoStart(3);
var endTime = gs.monthsAgoEnd(3);
tasks.addQuery('u_aom_estimated_remaining_hour','>=', startTime);
tasks.addQuery('u_aom_estimated_remaining_hour','<=', endTime);

Not sure what I am doing wrong.   I see valid data from the queried table that should be pulled.

You might be using the wrong variable   change startTime to newTime
