Exception CS:non supported datatype

I am getting this error on an object with date type. It contains a date with timestamp which is a timestamp datatype. Any function to convert this to date type only.

It would help if you tell folks what database platform and version you are using, since objects are defined in the universe with the appropriate database functions.

I am using oracle database.

Try taking a look at this past topic.

Hint: Do a search on one or more most likely keywords - that’s how I found it, searching on timestamp :lol:

I met this before. What I did ( of course, learnt from BoB :mrgreen: ) is to use Cast ( Timestampe as date ) function. After converting, I’m able to use trunc,…, these functions. that Designer supports.

You may have a try.
