Converting Unix-Timestamp to Date inside BIRT [message #202937]

Hy,

I get an Unix-Timestamp from a Database as decimal (i.e 1164425523) and
want to display this value in a human readable format like "20.01.2006 -
10:32". How can I (as a newbie) do this?

Kind regards
Matze

var d = new Packages.java.util.Date(longValue);

Where must I put this in? Direct in the Report-Field is not working:

new Packages.java.util.Date( dataSetRow["timestamp"] )

Kind regard

Matze,

Put that in the Fetch method. What you may need to do is create another
column in your dataset, and assign that column the value in the fetch
method. Although not necessary, it will give you the illusion off
somewhat working as expected.

You may also create a computed column and output the results of that.
This is done in the data set editor.

Try it both ways, and let us know the results.
