Two Integer Year

[01371406]

The following code is supposed to return a two digit year. However I am getting the two digit year with an "in" as a suffix.

var nd  = new Date();

var z = nd.getFullYear();

var y = z.toString();

var x = y.substr(2, 3);

app.alert("Variable nd = " + nd + "\n" + "Variable z = " + z + "\n" + "Variable y = " + y + "\n" + "Variable x = " + x);

the alert box upon showing up says:

Variable nd= Tues Nov 06 2012 11:51:11 GMT -0800 (Pacific Standard Time)

Variable z = 2012

Variable y = 2012in

Variable x = 12in

What is going on? "y" should equal 2012 as a string value and "x" 12 as a string value. Where is the "in" suffix coming from? Thanks.

Hi,

The problem you are having is because x and y are names reserved for the XFA object, so if this code was executing in button y would return you the y co-ordinate of the button, which must be in inches in your system.

Some other common names are w, h and index.

Thank you Bruce.

var nd  = new Date();

var a = nd.getFullYear();

var b = a.toString().slice(2)

document.write("Variable nd = " + nd + " " + "Variable a = " + a + "" + "Variable b = " + b + "");
