aqDateTime.Today() - date format problem.

I am getting an error while creating a new patient. The patient admission date is a month/two into the future. The admission date format calls for mm/dd/yyyy. aqDateTime.Today() produces mm/dd/yy + t...

Hi Shankar

 

Thanks for your reply, the funny thing is I tried %yy thinking that will add four digits (before posting here), I did not see any documentation on y and Y! It does work! Thanks for the link to "Date and Time Format Specifiers".

 

But now I have a different issue! The date is 06/24/2017, but TestComplete is entering  06/24/201 ! I have already sent an email to the Devs, thinking it may be an issue on their end (not heard from them yet). Could it be an issue with TestComplete, how it is interacting with the field? See the screen capture, please.

 

 

robert, Thanks for pointing out my oversight! :) I know when coping log message, it does copy the time stamp! Going through documentation, found out Today method does not contain time stamp, so when I time (when pasted the log), and did not realize that it came from log, not part of actual date!

 

Any idea, why the last digit is seen as 11th. digit by TestComplete and truncated?

 

Thank you both for your valuable time, I really appreciate it.

    Yay! Thanks to you, I found my problem! There was a space leading %m/%d/%Y as:

     

    var addmissionD = aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(dOAdmission, " %m/%d/%Y");

    Thank you! :D

      By the way, I approve, whole heartedly, of your use of Darkwing Duck as a name to use for testing...
