[Anonymous]

Hi,
Could you some one advise on Converting date to string and Integer to String in TMAP.
This conversion should happen only in Tmap but not with tconvertype ...
Thanks,

Hi,
You can use method  String.valueOf()in tMap to c onvert  Integer to String and TalendDate.formatDate("yyyy-MM-dd",myDate) to convert  date to string.
Please take a look at my screenshots.
Best regards

Hi

Please me on this below code. I have to change a date column to string type and the validate that whether it is valid date or not?

For validation it should come 0 or 1 a s output.

You have specified that you want to convert a date column to String and then validate whether its date. First of all, if the input column is having date data type, it will be always succeed in validation. So I assume your query is to check whether an input string is date or not. If has to give 1 as output if its a date value and 0 if its not a date value.

Please refer the below solution for this scenario.

The function is as shown below.

TalendDate.isDate(row1.data,"yyyy-MM-dd") ?"1":"0"

Convert String to Date : 

TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd",Var.date_string )

Convert Int to Date : 

TalendDate.parseDate("yyyyMMdd", Integer.toString(Var.date_int) )
