Hi,
Sorry for the delay, I have been wrapped up in a project. Question - are you trying to parse the actual date value or have you converted the date value to a string first? I ask because you cannot parse a date type field, you need to provide a string version of it.
Below is the narrative from the Talend parseDate 'method'
Parses text from the beginning of the given string to produce a date using the given pattern and the default date format symbols for the given locale. The method may not use the entire text of the given string.
@param pattern the pattern to parse.
@param stringDate A string whose beginning should be parsed
@return A date parsed from the string
Let me know if you are already using a string value to parse from and if not, convert the date to a string variable and try that out.
