Getting an error when trying to create this batch class. Could you advise what I'm doing wrong?

Error: Compile Error: Class LocationProcessorBatch must implement the method: void Database.Batchable.execute(Database.BatchableContext, List) at line 1 column 14 

global class LocationProcessorBatch implements Database.Batchable<sObject> { global Integer count = 0; global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc){ return Database.getQueryLocator('Select Id, Next_Inspection_Date__c FROM SVMXC_Site__c'); } global void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, List<SVMXC_Site__c> l_list){ List<SVMXC_Site__c> l_list_new = new List<SVMXC_Site__c>(); for(SVMXC_Site__c l:l_list){ l.Next_Inspection_Date= Month()+'/15/'+Year(); l_list_new.add(l); count+=1; } update l_list_new; } global void finish(Database.BatchableContext bc){ System.debug('Count='+count); } }

Reset to default

Your issue is on this line:

l.Next_Inspection_Date= Month()+'/15/'+Year();

You have missing __c in the field name.

It should be written as one or other as below.

  1. Assuming you are using month() and year() methods from Date class on a date variable:

    Date myDate = date.newInstance(2019, 10, 29); l.Next_Inspection_Date__c = myDate.month() + '/15/' + myDate.year();

    OR

  2. Assuming you already have a Month(), and Year() methods defined in your class.

    l.Next_Inspection_Date__c = Month() + '/15/' + Year();

  • Will myDate.month() get me the current month and myDate.year() get me the current year? Commented Oct 29, 2019 at 18:07
  • It will give you with what you initialized myDate, in the above example it will be 10 and 2019. Depends on what you are trying to achieve. Refer to Date class' documentation for more details Commented Oct 29, 2019 at 18:08
  • Ok, I believe this is what I need: l.Next_Inspection_Date__c= System.Today().Month() +'/15/'+ System.Today().Year(); Commented Oct 29, 2019 at 18:10
  • I'm still getting the original error: Error: Compile Error: Class LocationProcessorBatch must implement the method: void Database.Batchable.execute(Database.BatchableContext, List) at line 1 column 14 Commented Oct 29, 2019 at 18:53
  • If I change the first line to global class LocationProcessorBatch implements Database.Batchable<SVMXC_Site__c> then get the error message Error: Compile Error: Invalid type: SVMXC_Site__c at line 1 column 48 Commented Oct 29, 2019 at 18:57
