Applied from the Time Merge Window
timemerge(start,end,interval,method,maxTimeGap, handleDuplicates, handleOutOfOrder, maxCert, var1[,…,varN]):
This transform is generated when you apply a Time Merge from the Time Merge window (Chapter 5, “Merge Data by Time”). The output of this transform is the new date/time variable.- start: $tm_early_start (earliest start of any date/time column in the dataset), $tm_late_start (latest start of any date/time column in the dataset), or a date/time constant; end is $tm_late_end (latest end of any date/time column in the dataset), $tm_early_end (earliest end of any date/time column in the dataset), or a date/time constant. (The format for date/time constants is described in General Information and Conventions.
- interval: the Time Merge interval that you specified (in the format described for Date/Time increments described in General Information and Conventions).
- method: any of the constants $tm_boxcar, $tm_linear, $tm_spline, $tm_linearExtend, $tm_splineExtend, corresponding to your menu selection for the Time Merge method.
- maxTimeGap: the Max Time Gap value that you specified, in the same format for Date/Time increments.
- handleDuplicates: one of the constants $tm_first, $tm_average, or $tm_last, corresponding to your menu selection for handling duplicate time values.
- handleOutOfOrder: one of the constants $tm_cut or $tm_sort, corresponding to your menu selection for handling out-of-order time values.
- maxCert: the value that you specified for Zero certainty after, in the same format for Date/Time increments.
The list of one or more input variables can contain only date/time variables and unattached variables without any date/time reference.
