Rafal,
This function returns a java.util.Date not a js date.
If you use a text element or data element all you have to enter is:
Data
BirtDateTime.addDay(new Date(),-1);
text
<VALUE-OF>BirtDateTime.addDay(new Date(),-1);</VALUE-OF>
In both cases the date is automatically formated for the current locale
If you have to use a dynamic text element you could format like:
var dt =BirtDateTime.addDay(new Date(),-1);
importPackage( Packages.java.text );
var sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM d, yyyy HH:mm aaa");
var mydtf1 = sdf.format(dt );
mydtf1;

Hi Jason,
I relation to this thread, I am wondering if you've seen or have an idea why I might be experiencing some strange AddDay() behavior? I have a simple Data binding in a report which looks something like:
if(params["RunDate"].value==null){BirtDateTime.addDay(new Date(),-90)}else{BirtDateTime.addDay(params["RunDate"].value,-90)};
If I use any day within the first week of April of any year, as my selected parameter value, the result will return a full year earlier. I'm not sure if this is something that was already addressed in a patch, but I don't see this on every version of BIRT. Sadly, it is only experienced within my clients BIRT deployments. Not my own.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Ralph G.

Ralph,
I have not seen this. What version are your clients running?
