Hello All,

can someone please help me to convert dataTime to 2019-05-02T14:15:17Z.
I am using below code but output is 2019-05-03T00:00:00Z  , HH:MM:SS are zero. Thanks 
dateTime d = system.now();
        System.debug('***-->'+d);
        Datetime myDT = datetime.newInstance(d.year(), d.month(),d.day());
        String myDate = myDT.format('yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss\'Z\'');
		String formatted = myDateTime.formatGMT('yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ');

Hi,

Greetings to you!

newInstance is used to construct a Datetime from Integer representations in the local time zone.

You can try below code: 
dateTime d = system.now();
System.debug('d ***-->'+d);

String myDate = d.format('yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss\'Z\'');
System.debug('myDate ***-->' + myDate);

String formatted = d.formatGMT('yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ');
System.debug('formatted ***-->' + formatted);

I hope it helps you.

Kindly let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future. It will help to keep this community clean.

Thanks and Regards,
Khan Anas
