I might be worthwhile to have a quick read through this blog post in the Community section

https://community.esri.com/community/help-and-feedback/blog/2016/08/15/community-news-and-tips-how-to-ask-questions-and-get-answers

The import steps that people asking questions need to consider is that they disclose information as outlined in Step 2. This is particular important since legacy software documentation and help files may not be available online.

Robert has spent a great deal of time trying to figure out what your problem was and to make suggestion... take the time and go through his posts and mark them as helpful... Helpful doesn't mean your problem was solved, but it means just that... Good luck and describe your situation more completely the next time you need help

Can add names format, if you choose shp format, will generate a name behind shp,,

outputFileName = (configXML.outputfilename[0] || formatDate.format(new Date)) + "format choose"+ ".zip";

AhmadSopian1

RobertScheitlin__GISP

<SPAN class="token tag"><SPAN class="token tag"><SPAN class="punctuation token"><</SPAN><SPAN class="namespace token">mx:</SPAN>DateFormatter</SPAN> <SPAN class="attr-name token">id</SPAN><SPAN class="attr-value token"><SPAN class="punctuation token">=</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">"</SPAN>formatDate<SPAN class="punctuation token">"</SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN class="attr-name token">formatString</SPAN><SPAN class="attr-value token"><SPAN class="punctuation token">=</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">"</SPAN>YYYY-MMM-DD-LNNSS<SPAN class="punctuation token">"</SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">/></SPAN></SPAN>

outputFileName = (configXML.outputfilename[0] || formatDate.format(new Date)) + ".zip";<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

sorry... I thought it would return that format of date, my comment was on the replace segment... it won't replace dashes if that is the format that is returned

AhmadSopian1

thanks you Patterson,,

i don't have date time string, can you help me for source data string date time for data extract arcgis flex?

DanPatterson_Retired

it doesn't seem to replace dashes ... is that the issue or is getting the date time which you haven't show how you are getting?? In any event, once you have your date converted to a string use 'replace' to substitute the string elements replace("-","") yields 'YYYYMMMdd'
