Hi,

How to add hours to a Date/Time value.

I want to add 13 hours to the below Time format.

**4beginNextWeek===>2016-08-08 04:00:00

I have tried this Its din't work.

var beginNextWeek = new GlideDateTime(gs.beginningOfNextWeek());

gs.log("**4beginNextWeek===>"+beginNextWeek);

var splitDate = beginNextWeek.split("-"); // Split Catalog Date into year, month, day

var termDate = new Date(splitDate[0],splitDate[1]-1,splitDate[2]); // Avoid timezone issues, but month starts at 0

termDate.setHours(14); // 5:00 p.m. EST (2:00 p.m. PST by default)

gs.log("**4termDate===>"+termDate);

You might want to use getDisplayValue() to get in the user's time zone

var gdt = new GlideDateTime(gs.beginningOfNextWeek());

var hours = 60*60*13;

gdt.addSeconds(hours);

gs.print(gdt.getDisplayValue());

Nice work around...I spent a day trying to conjur up the right incantation for some complex time duration calculations before I found this...

a lot depends on where you are doing this.. is it a client side script or a server side script?
