Help: What's wrong to get TimeMillis in this code?

Question

Hi,
I want to get the TimeMillis from a Calender.
Everytime the date and time and correct, however,
the Date and TimeMillis are always wrong. Can
anybody tell me how to get the correct ones?
tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("PST");
cal = Calendar.getInstance(tz);
cal.setTimeZone(tz);
// get date and time
nYear = cal.get(cal.YEAR);
nMonth = cal.get(cal.MONTH);
nDayofMonth = cal.get(cal.DAY_OF_MONTH);
nDayofWeek = cal.get(cal.DAY_OF_WEEK);
nHour = cal.get(cal.HOUR_OF_DAY);
nMin = cal.get(cal.MINUTE);
nSec = cal.get(cal.SECOND);
int miliSec = cal.get(cal.MILLISECOND);
// get TimeMillis
java.util.Date date = (java.util.Date)(cal.getTime());
long nTime = date.getTime();
Thanks very much,
Fan

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem.I have compare 2 dates and get the number of days between them.
Myplan is convert both dates to milisecs ,calculate, and re-convert to get days (how do i round it off only yo integers, no decimals).Any idea how i could do this?-
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
class DateStamp{
public static void Main(String args[]){
doDate1;
String D;
int D1,D2,D3;
Date dt=new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mm-yyyy");
/*When using method .setDate(x) ,is x an integer or String?can x=2/5/2002 or 2-5-2002?*/
public void doDate1{
dt.setDay(12);
dt.setMonth(12);
dt.setYear(102);
D=dt.getTime();
D.parseInt(D1);D=""
D=sdf.getTime();
D.parseInt(D2);
int D3=D2-D1;
int D3=D3/86400000;/*How do you convert milisec-to-days?*/
D=D3.toString().
System.out.println(D+"days have elapsed since then");
the compiler said this-
File Compiled...
--------------------------- Javac Output ---------------------------
DateStamp.java:7: Invalid expression statement.doDate1;^DateStamp.java:14: Instance variables can't be void: doDate1public void doDate1; ^2 errors
this problem is persistant, and i'm a java newbie ,Does anyone know what's wrong here?
Thanks!
