Hi Sourabh

Here is an example on how to get the difference between two GlideDateTime objects and convert the result to hours:

var start = new GlideDateTime("2016-08-28 09:00:00");

var end = new GlideDateTime("2016-08-31 08:10:00");


// Duration in hours

var dur_seconds = gs.dateDiff(start, end, true); // returns the number of seconds as String

var dur_hours = Math.round(dur_seconds / 3600); // Math.round() is optional and will round the number to the nearest integer

gs.print(dur_hours); // *** Script: 71

This is a second example with the dedicated class GlideDuration. This class does not have a function to calculate hours (only days), but it can be useful to work with durations in general:

var start = new GlideDateTime("2016-08-28 09:00:00");

var end = new GlideDateTime("2016-08-31 08:10:00");


// Duration in days

var dur = GlideDateTime.subtract(start, end); // returns a GlideDuration object

gs.print(dur.getDisplayValue()); // *** Script: 2 Days 23 Hours 10 Minutes

gs.print(dur.getDayPart()); // *** Script: 2

gs.print(dur.getRoundedDayPart()); // *** Script: 3

Best regards
