How is gs.daysAgoEnd calculated?

[Jase2]

I have a scheduled job that runs at 3:00 in the morning. In there it uses gs.daysAgoEnd. I'm not sure why, but when I run that later in the day it shows the day ends at 5:59:59 the next day. My question is does the time of day that you run gs.daysAgoEnd matter? When it runs at 3:00 will it still show the days ends at 5:59:59 the next day or the same day? I would think that it would be same day, but the results I get from the scheduled job seem to show that it uses the next day.

Hi,

Are you passing a int in that like 

gs.daysAgoEnd(int) 

this will decide which endDatetime to return? If it is not passed then it will give you next day date time by default.

SO i will say pass 1 in that.

Thanks,

Thanks Ashutosh.

In this case I am passing 0, but my question is the same no matter what int I pass. If I pass a 1 at 5:00, will I get a different result than if I pass a 1 at 7:00 on the same day?

HI,

Whenever you run over the day the time will not change it will be same.

Hi Jase,

The time doesn't matter it will return a date and time for the end of the day a specified number of days ago. 

for a quick test run below script in the background script after 10 - 15 mins interval and observe the date time in the output. Time will never change. 

var d = gs.daysAgoEnd(1);
gs.info(d);

Output - GMT date time string. 

Please mark this correct & helpful if it answered your question.
