Hi all,

How to convert the system.now() date time format (2014-12-23 13:19:13) to the following format 2014-12-23T06:00:00.000Z ?

Thanks.

Hi,
Try the below Code. 
DateTime dt = system.now();
System.debug('DATETIME:'+dt.formatGmt('yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSS\'Z\''));

that again returns a string right and if u parse it then it would again be in the system.now format

Hi,
yes this is in String Format.
But using parse method you can not convert to DateTime again.

For those who are here searching correct GMT format, try below:
Datetime d = System.now();  //Returns GMT time, also SF stores all datetime in objects in GMT format only.
String dt = String.valueOf(d.dateGmt())+'T'+String.valueOf(d.timeGmt());
