timestamp arithmetic

tkilshaw

Could not find this in the User Manual.

How can I add a day to the value of an existing timestamp.

Adding 1 to a date adds a day to it, but that does not work with timestamps. Looks like I need to multiply the number of days by 24 before adding them.

But how are minutes added?

thanks,

Terry

Terry,

Adding 1 to a timestamp attribute will increase its value by one hour. So you are right, you need to add 24 to a timestamp attribute to increase its value by a day.

It is also possible to add a value of type Duration to a Timestamp. We will be implementing a function shortly to specify an arbitrary duration value including seconds, minutes, hours, etc. This function will make it possible to change a timestamp value by any desired time interval.
