How can i add +1 day if day before is greater than specific time

[james.miller_1]

Hi, 

 

I have a quick question, i want to know if its possible to add a day onto a date if the time is later than a say 6pm. 1 parameter will be defaulted to a string thats set to "18:00". I want to throw this against my data (date column) and if the date/time on there is greater than the parameter thats set to "18:00" then add 1 day if its before that then it keeps the same day.

Is this possible and how will it be acheived?

Hi James,

you can get time part from date object with new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss").format("$F{date_field}"). Then compare it with your parameter. If true, in new variable or field add one day to field with: new DateUtils.AddDays("$F{date_field}", 1)
