Transforming Dates

Use the @DATE, @DATEDIF, and @DATENOW functions to retrieve dates and times, perform computations on them, and convert them.

This example computes the time that an order is filled

Example 7-7 Computing Time

ORDER_FILLED = @DATE (
    'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS',
    'JTS',
    @DATE ('JTS',
    'YYMMDDHHMISS',
    ORDER_TAKEN_TIME) +
    ORDER_MINUTES * 60 * 1000000)
