Hi,

I gave you one link in my reply. USEFUL LINK.

There you can see various ways to do this.

Example is as below:

Client script:

var cdt = g_form.getValue('due_date'); //First Date/Time field
var dttype = 'second'; //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");
alert(answer);
if(answer > 604800 )
{
g_form.setMandatory('fieldname',true);
}
}


Script include:

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;
},

//Private function to calculate the date difference return result in second, minute, hour, day.
_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,

HI Naveen i am sharing the script based on this u change as your requirement

Script Include

var GetDate = Class.create();

GetDate.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

GetDate: function(){

var chdate = this.getParameter('sysparm_date');

var date = gs.now();

var diffseconds = gs.dateDiff(date, chdate, true);

return parseInt(diffseconds);

},

type: 'GetDate'

});

Client script

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

return;

}

var expdate = g_form.getValue('u_date');

var dajax = new GlideAjax('GetDate');

dajax.addParam('sysparm_name','GetDate');

dajax.addParam('sysparm_date',expdate);

dajax.getXML(DajaxResponse);

function DajaxResponse(response)

{

var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

if(answer < 0)

{

alert('Entered date is not valid. Kindly select future date');

g_form.clearValue('u_date');

}}}

Hello naveenmyana

Maybe this help you

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
	if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
		return;
	}
	
	//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
	var fecha = new Date();
	alert(fecha);
	
}

Hello Ariel,

Thank you for your response, It is returning the My time zone(IST) but I need the user time zone who is currently logged in.

Here my scenario is whenever a task is created on sc task table and is not closed after 7 days, we need to force the user to select a field on sc task table.

So for this I am taking the time of when the task is created and calculating the duration upto 7 days, So is the task is open for 7 days the user who is working on this task needs to select a reason from a field "XYZ" whenever they are updating that task.

Could pls guide me on this one how can i proceed further..

here is my code:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}

var approveddate = g_form.getValue('request_item.u_approved_date');
// alert(approveddate);

var dttype = 'seconds';
var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getNowDateTime');
ajax.getXML(nowdate);

function nowdate(response){
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
// I am struck here
}
}

Hi,

THis solution works,

Client script:

var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getNowDateTime');
ajax.getXML(doSomething);

function doSomething(response){
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
alert(answer);

Script Include:

var ClientDateTimeUtils = Class.create();
ClientDateTimeUtils.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

//Returns the Date/Time of right now.
getNowDateTime: function(){
var now = gs.nowDateTime(); //Now Date/Time
return now;
},

});
