nlapiDateToString in Server Script?

edited Jan 8, 2020 2:24AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 3 comments

I’ve been running a new server script (user event, after submit) for a few days now with no major troubles.  However, I occasionally receive one of two errors.  This first is "TypeError: Cannot read property "8.0" from undefined"

After some investigation, I have traced this to the user’s NS date format preferences.  The script works fine for users with MM/DD/YYYY, while users with DD-Mon-YYYY throw the error.  I have not checked the other date formats.

I am using the following API to convert the date which works very well in client script.

nlapiDateToString(new Date())

Should I be using something else for server script?  The objective is to set a custom date field with today’s date.

Howdy, Stranger!
