Get dateTime in seconds

[Fabrizio Joaqui]

if I want the datetime in seconds it is correct to do so:

reqBodyPerson.dateOfBirth = new GlideDateTime(current.u_start_date_contract).getNumericValue();

Hello,

Yes, this should work to convert date into epoch seconds.  If it's not working please try 

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
gdt.setValue(current.getValue('u_start_date_contract'));
var ms = gdt.getNumericValue();

Feel free to mark correct, If I answered your query.

Will be helpful for future visitors looking for similar questions 🙂
