How to convert Date to DateTime in Business Central [AL- VsCode]?

I have to assign a "Date" Value to a "DateTime" variable. How do I convert the "Date" to a "DateTime"?

There are two ways to achieve this,

1. Using CREATEDATETIME procedure
2. Using EVALUATE procedure

Using CREATDATETIME Procedure:

Use procedure CREATEDATETIME where your date is first parameter and 0T is second parameter.

YourDateTime := CREATEDATETIME(YourDate,0T);

I would suggest to create a procedure where parameter is your Date to convert and return value is your datetime variable.

You can copy paste following:

   

    /// <summary>

    /// ConvertDateToDateTime using CREATEDATETIME

    /// </summary>

    /// <param name="YourDate">Date.</param>

    /// <returns>Return variable YourDateTime of type DateTime.</returns>

    procedure ConvertDateToDateTime(YourDate: Date) YourDateTime: DateTime

    begin

        //using CREATEDATETIME

        YourDateTime := CreateDateTime(YourDate, 0T);

       

    end;

Using EVALUATE procedure:

Use procedure EVALUATE where your datetime variable is first parameter and yourdate inside Format is second parameter.

Evaluate(YourDateTime, Format(YourDate));

I would suggest to create a procedure where parameter is your Date to convert and return value is your datetime variable.

If you want to copy the code:

   

    /// <summary>

    /// ConvertDateToDateTime using EVALUATE

    /// </summary>

    /// <param name="YourDate">Date.</param>

    /// <returns>Return variable YourDateTime of type DateTime.</returns>

    procedure ConvertDateToDateTime(YourDate: Date) YourDateTime: DateTime

    begin

        //USING EVALUATE

        Evaluate(YourDateTime, Format(YourDate));

    end;
