      com.esri.arcgis.geoprocessing.tools.trackinganalysttools.ConcatenateDateAndTimeFields

All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class ConcatenateDateAndTimeFields
extends AbstractGPTool

Concatenates 2 separate date and time fields into a new field which is added to the same feature dataset. Tracking Analyst requires that the Date and Time values be in one field. The Concatenate Date And Time Fields tool is contained in the Tracking Analyst Tools tool box.

Software restrictions: none

Usage tips:

• Input values must be text type. Drop down list shows fields of text type.
• This tool adds a new text field to the input Feature dataset
• Date fields and Shapefiles, If you are working with a shapefile that contains a date field with the date only (ie. 03/09/2006) you must calculate the information into a new field that is of type text before you can concatenate it with a time field.
• The following environments affect this tool: Current workspace; Scratch workspace;
