get Current TimeStamp-(MINUS) 1 Day

Post by nsm »

Hi,

My requirement is to get CurrentTimeStamp-(Minus)1Day.
I am using CurrentTimestampMS() function to give me CurrentTimeStamp with Microseconds.

In server job/Routine its easier to do this with ICONV/OCONV functions, can somebody help me to do this in parallel job?

Thanks

Investigate the Julian date conversions.

Ray,

I tried looking at Julian date functions but couldn't really see anything that does it.
There are functions that gives previous weekday but not date.

I didn't get an idea if there is a way to use Previous week day and get the date out of it.

Thanks

Have you checked the function TimestampFromSecondsSince()???
