Set Date Method

The Set Date method sets the day of dateVar to the value you specify in the dayOfMonth argument.

Format

dateVar.setDate(dayOfMonth)

Table 64 describes the arguments for the Set Date method.

Setting the Day to a Value That Exceeds 31

You can add any number of days to a date. Siebel eScript automatically converts the number of days to the correct month and year. For example, to add the number of days to a date, you can use the following script:

//script to add 7 days to a date

var dtNextWeek = new Date();

dtNextWeek.setDate( dtNextWeek.getDate()+7 );

//script to add 76 days to a date

var dtNextWeek = new Date();

dtNextWeek.setDate(dtNextWeek.getDate()+76);
