1. Convert to String.
2. Decompose into components (date, time). Use Field() function.
3. Convert date format. Oconv(Iconv()) with appropriate format strings.
4. Append space and time component (including fractional seconds).

Hi Ray,
For my Target i am using DRS stage,so i am using the meta SQL %DateTimeIn() ,which doesn't handle the microseconds part.
So we tried like %DateTimeIn()%Concat(Microseconds),but we got the error as "ORA-01849: hour must be between 1 and 12"

Code: Select all
svDatePart:: Oconv(Iconv(Field(InLink.TheTS, " ", 1, 1), "DMY"), "D-YMD[4,2,2]")
Code: Select all
svTimePart:: Oconv(Iconv(Field(Field(InLink.TheTS, " ", 2, 1), ".", 1, 1) : Field(InLink.TheTS, " ", 3, 1), "MT", "MTS")
Code: Select all
svFractionalSeconds:: Field(Field(InLink.TheTS, " ", 2, 1), ".", 2, 1)
Code: Select all
Result:: svDatePart : " " : svTimePart : "." : svFractionalSeconds

In other words, dump the "meta SQL" and do it all "in job".
