PR Description:

Hi, before you move through the usecase I would like to let you know that 2 extra commits(Create getCIwithmostActiveInc.js and its README file) from yesterday have come into this PR. Please ignore them as they have already been accepted and merged.

Usecase:
This piece of code can be used to check whether a record was created more than 90 days ago or not.
It returns an output of true/false as well as the actual age (in days) of the record.

Type: Background Script

How it works:
There is a pastDateString variable which can contain a date-time which you received by querying any particular record's sys_created_on field or any other relevant field.
In the actual code I have hard-coded a value to be used as an example.
-There are two gliderecord objects to store the current date as well as past date
-GlideDateTime.subtract() is used to calculate the time difference as a GlideDuration object
-The time duration in milliseconds is converted to days by dividing with 86400000(milliseconds in a day)
-Comparison is done between the results
-The final age of the record and true/false result of the comparison is the output.
[Note: Output may vary according to timezones]

Thank you for your contribution! I noticed that the README refers to this as a “Background Script” example, but the actual files are placed under the GlideDateTime folder. For consistency, you may want to align the folder name with the script type or update the README accordingly.
Closing this for now. Once you’ve made the necessary adjustments, feel free to re-open the PR or submit a new one. Happy to review again!
