Hi Sirangi,

you can try the below

var days = gs.dateDiff(current.field_name, gs.nowDateTime(),false);

the above will give the difference in days, and you can put a condition like days >= 2

if you should do this from client-side script then create a script include and with glideajax call, you can apply the above logic.

Thanks and regards,

Swamy

when user selects some date in the calendar (as shown the varibale in the image above)   , that date or duration selected by him should be 48hrs from the time he is placing request , if   < 48hrs then a dialogue box shuld pop out saying that "Duration selected should be atleaset 48hrs minimum"/

please give the script for this .

Hi Vijay,

I have just taken a part of the script from the below thread

Client Script Date/Time Functions

client script:

var cdt = g_form.getValue('due_date'); //change the field name as per form
var dttype = 'minute'; //this can be day, hour, minute, second. By default it will return seconds.   
   
var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils');   
ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getNowDateTimeDiff');   
ajax.addParam('sysparm_fdt', cdt);   
ajax.addParam('sysparm_difftype', dttype);   
ajax.getXML(doSomething);   
   
function doSomething(response){   
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");   
if(answer < 2880)
{
alert("Duration selected should be atleaset 48hrs minimum");
g_form.setValue('field_name','');
}
}   

Script include

name:ClientDateTimeUtils

client callable: true

var ClientDateTimeUtils = Class.create();   
ClientDateTimeUtils.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {   
   
//Takes a Single Date/Time Field and returns its time difference from nowDateTime().   
//params = sysparm_fdt (the first date/time field), sysparm_difftype (time based format to return result. See "_calcDateDiff" function comments)   
getNowDateTimeDiff: function(){   
var firstDT = this.getParameter('sysparm_fdt'); //First Date-Time Field   
var diffTYPE = this.getParameter('sysparm_difftype'); // Date-Time Type to return the answer as. Can be second, minute, hour, day   
var diff = gs.dateDiff(gs.nowDateTime(), firstDT, true);   
var timediff = this._calcDateDiff(diffTYPE, diff);   
//return "getNowDateTimeDiff: FIRST DT: " + firstDT + " -DIFFTYPE: " + diffTYPE + " -TIME DIFF: " + timediff;   
return timediff;   
}, 
_calcDateDiff: function(diffTYPE, seconds){   
var thisdiff;   
if (diffTYPE == "day"){thisdiff = seconds/86400;}   
else if (diffTYPE == "hour"){thisdiff = seconds/3600;}   
else if (diffTYPE == "minute"){thisdiff = seconds/60;}   
else if (diffTYPE == "second"){thisdiff = seconds;}   
else {thisdiff = seconds;}   
return thisdiff;   
}   
 
});

Thanks and regards,
