changing start date and time using code

Hii, Try to take the start date and time from the global table using custom code.

code used :-

string startDate = Table("GlobalTable1")[1][1];

string Date = startDate+ " " + "06:00:00";

DateTime newStartTime = DateTime(Date, "%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S");

treenode startNode = getmodelunit(START_TIME_NODE);

startNode.value = newStartTime.value;

applicationcommand("convertunixtime", startNode, startNode.value);

It is not working.

Attached model for reference. Support1.fsm

Thanks in advance.

In 21.1 the model start and stop times are stored differently. To update the start time in 21.1 and later use this code:

DateTime startTime = DateTime("9/11/2020 07:00:00", "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S");
function_s(getmodelunit(START_TIME_NODE), "setDateTime", startTime);

HI @Swami Premnidhi, you could try to construct the DateTime variable in another way:

DateTime newStartTime = DateTime.compose(2021, 03, 24, 23, 45, 00);
treenode startNode = getmodelunit(START_TIME_NODE); 
startNode.value = newStartTime.value; 
applicationcommand("convertunixtime", startNode, startNode.value);

Hi @Roi Sánchez,

Thanks for the reply. The code you have given me is not converting the model start date and time to the date and time I inserted in the code. Instead, it is changing the model date and time to Jan 1601 which is not expected. Can you take a look at the attached model? Sample Model DateTime.fsm
