Question

What are the function calls to get the System date and current date using X ++ in Microsoft Dynamics AX?

Answer 1

Use static methods in the DateTimeUtil class:

• getSystemDateTime
• utcNow

Both return the UTC date and time, but will be converted to local time on the display.

Answer 3

In dynamics Ax <2009

The current date:

Today() 

The system date provided by the function today should only be used where the actual machine date is needed.

System Date:

 SystemDateGet() 

Most application logic should use the systemDateGet system function, which contains the logical date of the system.

Answer 4

SystemDateGet () is a command to get the current date in a display method.

today (), which can return a different date (this returns the date of the machine, not the date from Dynamics AX).
