Axapta 3.0 - X++ Conversion

Question

I'm looking to do an operation in AX 3.0, and I'm neither familiar with this older X++ nor can I find comprehensive documentation.

I need to:

• Get the number of seconds between January 1st, 2000 and today, and return it as an integer.

Now, how the heck do I do this?

Answer 1

date dThen  = 1\1\2000;
date dNow   = systemDateGet();

return (dNow - dThen) * 24 * 60 * 60 + timeNow();

There could be a macro for 24 * 60 * 60 in Axapta 3.0, I don't remember.
