Hi,

 

 

The TimeStamper transformer creates a timestamp as a string. Even if the timestamp (datetime) was read from a dataset, FME internally treats it as a string.

 

So, I'm not sure when you need to convert a timestamp to a string.

 

If you mean formating a timestamp, have a look at the DateFormatter transformer.
