Generate a date variable based off of two different requirements

  • 1.  Generate a date variable based off of two different requirements

    Posted Oct 07, 2022 01:28 PM
    Hello my javascripting guru's.

    Can someone share how they would create two YEAR variables, then use them in an IF/ELSE statement to create a single variable? Or recommend a simpler way to create a variable to resolve this requirement?

    Here are the requirements:
    If the run is for the last Thursday of March or June, use the Year (2022).
    If the run is for the last Thursday of Sept or Dec, use the Year + 1 (2023).

    Thank,
    Ken Ski

    Hi,

    Not sure if I understood the requirement correctly , so based on the job run for the 2 options above , do you want to set any variable . If so , can you please use the following example

    if (today('last workday of March') || today('last workday of June'))
    WOB.year = "2022";

    if (today('last workday of September') || today('last workday of December'))
    WOB.year = "2023";

    Syntax -
