how to get startdate and statementdate as first day and last day of previous month in order to use them as options in render.statement

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that the

startDate

and

statementDate

parameters in the

render.statement

function expect a string in the format 'M/D/YYYY'. JavaScript

Date

objects are not accepted. To get the first day and the last day of the previous month, you can use the following SuiteScript code:

javascript
var date = new Date();
var firstDay = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth() - 1, 1);
var lastDay = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), 0);

var format = require('N/format');

var startDate = format.format({
    value: firstDay,
    type: format.Type.DATE
});

var statementDate = format.format({
    value: lastDay,
    type: format.Type.DATE
});

In this code,

firstDay

and

lastDay

are JavaScript

Date

objects representing the first day and the last day of the previous month, respectively. The

format.format

function is used to convert these

Date

objects into strings in the format 'M/D/YYYY', which can be used as the

startDate

and

statementDate

parameters in the

render.statement

function. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
