Changing data type from character to continuous with JSL

Dec 4, 2019 05:38 AM (5468 views)

I have a script that gets back the time as character. The format is correct but I want  to automate this change of data type automatically.

How to do so in JSL scripting?

From the screenshot you are displaying, it appears that whatever methodology you are using to generate the TS_UTC column, that it is being generated as a character column.  The following JSL will convert from your character column to a numeric, continuous column, with your desired display format.

names default to here(1);
dt=current data table();
dt:TS_UTC<<data type(numeric)<<modeling type(continuous)<<format("yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss");
