Date.Parse in action Execute JavaScript code

[MariCarmen Vila]

We are trying to excute this code in action "Execute JavaScript Code":

Date.parse("2015.06.29")

 

But the result is:

Script execution succeeded. Result: Output String: NaN

 

What is it wrong?

NaN is an error code meaning "Not A Number" -- or a number we can't parse/display.

 

Date.Parse() returns the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970.

 

So in your JavaScript action, make sure and set the output:

 

output1 = Date.parse(...)

 

Also, i'm not sure that date is in a valid format.....check this page:  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff743760(v=vs.94).aspx

We set:

 

and

 

But the result is the same NaN.

Hi,

 

You can see Results are String type on [Outputs] tab of action definition.

 

Date.parse is not string but number type. So, we need to convert to string. I tried to use String().

 

And then, result value can be gotten.

 

I hope this steps help you.

Thanks
