Hi,

 

Please see below code snippet, this should help you;-

 

List<Contact> lstContact = [Select Id from Contact where FirstName =: req.FirstName and LastName =: req.LastName and Email =: req.Email];
if(lstContact.size() > 0){
	//throw error
}else{
	Contact cont = new Contact(FirstName=req.FirstName, LastName=req.LastName, Email = req.LastName);

}

Hi,

 

It should be shomething like below:-

 

oppty.CloseDate = system.today();  //you can have any date here as per your requirement

 However, if you are getting date in request parameter, most probably it will come as string and you will need to convert that into Date type.

 

Let me know if you have any question about above.

Hi,

 

If you looked at my code snippet above, in comment I have clearly mentioned that you need to modify according to your requirement. Please share code snippet what you are getting from request to be inserted as closedate. In nut shell, you will need to convert that into sfdc Date data type.

HI,

       when i use below code at that time if i give tommrow's close date means but it not taking that date. it taking present date

     that's means today date.

 

   Opportunity oppty = new Opportunity();         
       oppty.Name = req.oppName;         
       oppty.CloseDate = system.today();         
     oppty.StageName =req.oppStage;           
       insert oppty;

Hi,

 

This is coming because of below error code:-

 

oppty.CloseDate = system.today();

 

Could you please try below code:-

oppty.CloseDate = system.today().addDays(-1);

 

Just to be clear, above code now will always set close date to yesterday's date. If you want to make it dynamic, I expect you are getting close date in request, please use that.

 

Let me know if you have any question about this.
