Applies To
The method is applied to the following object:
Parameters
The method has the following parameters:
Format
Specifies the format used to convert the given DateTime value to a string. For more information on supported format specifiers, see Date and Time Format Specifiers.
DateTime
Specifies the DateTime value to be converted to a string.
Result Value
The given DateTime value converted to a string.
Remarks
This method is obsolete. It is supported for backward compatibility only. To convert a DateTime value into a string in a specific format, use the aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr method.
The function name, FormatDateTime, coincides with the name of a VBScript function. These functions have the same names but different parameters. So, if you need to call FormatDateTime from a VBScript code, you should also specify the object name - Utilities. That is, use Utilities.FormatDateTime(...) rather than just FormatDateTime(...). If you omit the object name, TestComplete will call VBScript’s function and since its parameters differ from parameters of Utilities’s function, you will get the “Type mismatch” error.
