How To Work With Dates
Before we discuss how to work with dates in your scripts, we need to point out that there are two types of date fields: date-only and date-time. Date-only fields only contain a date. Date-time fields contain both a date and a time. The following topics describe how to work with dates on the various step types.
Note: If you're working with a field that resides on the
database (as opposed to a temporary storage field), the
database field name will tell you what type of date it is:
date-only fields are suffixed with
DT, and date-time fields are suffixed
with
DTTM.
