Function: timeSlots()

Calculates the number of timeslots of the given slot size covered by the given start and end times and returns an array containing the start times of each slot.

Syntax

timeSlots(startDtm, endDtm, slotSize)

Argument Type Description
startDtm DateTime Start time as a string but with a certain format - see date string format.
endDtm DateTime End time as a string but with a certain format - see date string format.
slotSize Integer The size of each slot (in seconds).

Examples

slotSize(in.startDTM, in.endDTM, 600)

The input record "in" has "20080101.102723" as the startDTM and "20080101.105602" as the endDTM

The function first starts calculating timeslots of the given size from the start of the nearest hour to the startDTM, i.e. from "20080101.102723", until the first slot whose start time is beyond the given endDTM.

In this example this would create 6 timeslots from 10am until 11am but would return the start times for only the last 4 of these since the given startDTM is not contained in the first two.

The result would therefore be:

["20080101.102000","20080101.103000","20080101.104000","20080101.105000"]
