Change the date format as system preference date and time zone using script

Here we have used to fetch the system preference date format and time zone and using the format module.

   let dateFormat = runtime.getCurrentUser().getPreference({               

name: ‘DATEFORMAT’           

});           

let timeZone = runtime.getCurrentUser().getPreference({               

name: ‘TIMEZONE’           

});

   let today = new Date();                   

today = format.format({                       

value: today,                       

type: format.Type.DATE,                       

timezone: timeZone,                     

  format: dateFormat                   

});
 The above code returns the code as String type.          

today = format.parse({                       

value: today,                       

type: format.Type.DATE,
   });

The parse will return as date object so we can use for date calculations.
