Timestamp data type
Print this page

The data type Timestamp represents a date-and-time value.

Formatting

Timestamps from TDE default to UTC (see DateTime conversion). In the [Output] section, you can convert these values to the time zone and format you need:

Copy
[Output]
PurchaseTime(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm, PST) = Input.SwipeTime  # converts and formats from UTC to time zone
Field length

The effective range of this data type is: 00:00:00.0000000, January 1, 0001 to 23:59:59.9999999, December 31, 9999

JavaScript conversion

When you use the optional [Script] section to insert your own JavaScript functions, Timestamp maps to JavaScript Date, so you can manipulate it as a native JavaScript date object.

Creation
JavaScript
Copy
var myDate1 = new Date();
var myDate2 = new Date(milliseconds);
var myDate3 = new Date(dateString);
var myDate4 = new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
