- An absTime-to-string or absTime-to-statusString link results in a string value for a date-timestamp that (by default) reflects
yyyy-mo-dayThr:min:sec.ms-tzone offset hr, for example a value of 2011-02-01T13:47:13.358-05:00. The link has “Format” converter property, with a default value of YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ. You can edit this if needed—for example to change Format to MM-DD-YYYY HH:mm a to get a string output like 02-01-2011 13:51 PM.
- An absTime-to-”simple number type” link (double, float, long, integer) results in the number of milliseconds for that date-timestamp
since the Java “epoch” timestamp of December 31 1969.
- An absTime-to-statusNumeric link results in the number of milliseconds for that date-timestamp since the Java “epoch” timestamp
of December 31 1969.
- An absTime-to-time link results in the time portion of the date-timestamp to be the time value.
