TIMEDELIM

Specifies a single character as the delimiter between the hour, minute, and second components to override the default delimiter determined by the TIME directive specification, or implicitly based on default ISO 8601 format (hh:mm:ss).

Syntax

TIMEDELIM=character

Properties:

Default:

None

Dependencies:

None; however, TIMEDELIM can be used with TIME to specify an alternative delimiter. See TIME for details.

Scope:

Used at compile time:	Yes
Behavior at run time:	Source file

See Scope - OpenESQL SQL Compiler Directive Options for more information.

Comments:

TIMEDELIM set without TIME overrides the default ISO 8601 delimiter, a colon (:), for time values.

TIMEDELIM set with TIME overrides the default delimiter for the specified TIME parameter. For example, the default delimiter for TIME=EUR is a dot character (.).

See TIME, DETECTDATE, and OpenESQL Datetime Data Types Handling for more information.
