How to get the time difference between two date/time fields in number of Days

[Kaleem A]

Hi All,

I have below script. How to get the time difference between two date/time fields in number of Days. If the difference is   less than a day the value of dur is "HH:MM:SS".   It creates confusion with the parseInt() function. I'm looking for the dur value in "DD HH:MM:SS". Can some one help me with this?

var actualDateTime = new GlideDateTime();

actualDateTime.setDisplayValue(gs.nowDateTime());

var gr = new GlideRecord('change_request');

gr.addQuery('number','CNG0286539');

gr.query();

if(gr.next()){

  aging = "";

              var impendTime = gr.end_date.getDisplayValue();//implementationEndTime

              gs.print(impendTime);

              var dur = gs.dateDiff(impendTime, actualDateTime);

              var d = dur.getDay();

              gs.print(actualDateTime);

              gs.print (dur);

              var d=parseInt(dur);

              gs.print(d);

}

This script helped me

var actualDateTime = new GlideDateTime();

actualDateTime.setDisplayValue(gs.nowDateTime());

var gr = new GlideRecord('change_request');

gr.addQuery('number','CNG0286538');

gr.query();

if(gr.next()){

              var impendTime = gr.end_date.getDisplayValue();//implementationEndTime

                gs.print(actualDateTime);

              dur = gs.dateDiff(impendTime, actualDateTime);

              var dateDifference = new GlideDuration(dur);

              gs.print ("dateDifference : " + dateDifference);

              var d   = dateDifference.getDayPart();

              gs.print("d :" + d);

}

   var today = new GlideDateTime();
    var closed = new GlideDateTime(current.closed_at);

    if (closed) {
        var dateDiff = GlideDateTime.subtract(closed, today);
        var dateDiffNum = dateDiff.getDayPart();
