Store dates older than epoch (6 Comments)

Is there a way to store dates older than epoch in Oracle Service Cloud?

A date type field field (custom filed/Custom object field) has a limitation

 Range: 86400..2147385599

Dates older than epoch evaluates to a negative values

e.g.: mktime(0,0,0,1,1,1960); returns -315601200 which is out of range.

I can think of other way like storing date as a string but I it will not provide me the flexibility to use it in the report filter as I do with date type field.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Pavan.
