Hi,

 

Try the below code snippet as reference:

date tt=system.today();

string ss=tt.format();

system.debug('#########3'+ss);

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

You can convert the dateTime to specific date format using the below method

 

DateTime d = Date.Today() ;
String dateStr =  d.format('dd/MM/yyyy') ;

 

and you can covert the date to dateTime using

 

Date dToday = System.Today();
 Datetime dt = datetime.newInstance(dToday.year(), dToday.month(),dToday.day());

 

Let me know if you need anything else

Use format to convert System date to as u like.

 

datetime dt = system.today();
string  st=dt.format();
system.debug(st);

I know this was a while ago but this was my solution
Date d = Date.today();
String dTXT = d.format();
system.debug('!!! dTXT ' + dTXT); //display date like: dd/mm/yyyy
system.debug('!!! new date ' + cleanDate(dTXT)); 

    public String cleanDate(String theDate){
        String [] s = theDate.split('/');
        String newDate= '';
        if(s[0].length() == 1){
            newDate = '0'+s[0];
        }else{
            newDate = s[0];
        }
        newDate = s[1]+'/'+newDate+'/'+s[2];
        return newDate;
    }
