Hi,

You can make use of getTime() method of DateTime.

getTime() - Returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT represented by this DateTime object.

DateTime dt = System.Now();
Long i = dt.getTime();
System.debug('i=====>'+i);

After receivinng milliseconds value, you can convert that value into seconds.

Thanks,
Devendra

 hope this thing works

Hi,

 

You have created the datetime, you can extract hrs, minute, from it and multiply with respective seconds. Sum them up you will get total seconds.

 

Ex :  11:30 AM

11*3600=39600

30*60=1800

 

DateTime class has methods to extract minutes and hrs.

 

Regards
