Example

This example does the following:

• Creates an SCDatum object containing the number of milliseconds you want to convert
• Sets the data type of the SCDatum object to a Service Manager date/time type
• Converts the number of milliseconds into a JavaScript date/time

This example requires the following sample data:

• A number of milliseconds (for example, "1234567890")

var millisecs;

function findDateTime( num )
{
 var t = new SCDatum( num );
 t.setType( 3 );
 print( num + " milliseconds is equal to the date: " + t.JSDate() );
}

millisecs = 1234567890;
findDateTime( millisecs );
