Get UTC Date Method

The Get UTC Date method returns an integer that includes the number of milliseconds before or after midnight January 1, 1970 of the date and time that you specify. To call this method, you use the date constructor rather than a variable. This method interprets the arguments as referring to GMT time. For more information, see Values for Dates and Times.

Format

Date.UTC(year, month, day, [, hours[, minutes[, seconds]]])

Table 73 describes the arguments for the Get UTC Date method.

   TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("The specified date is " +
      aDate.toUTCString());
