NOTE |
· To parse and format times with higher than millisecond precision, the format string needs to end with a period followed by sequence of uppercase S. There can be no additional characters following them. For example: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS · The “Seconds”, “Millis”, “Micros”, and “Nanos” formats are used for parsing of the data in the data connectors and not for the display of the Date/Time columns. |
