User attributes for this format are defined below.

Type

This format supports the following field types.

Closedsmallint

This type is used to represent 16-bit signed integers.

Closedint

This type is used to represent 32-bit signed integers.

Closedsingle

This type is used to represent 32-bit float values.

Closeddouble

Closeddate

This type is used to store and retrieve date information within the Geodatabase.

When a date field is read by the Geodatabase, it is placed in the FME feature with the form HHMMSS, YYYYMMDD, or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. The time portion is specified using the 24-hour clock. When writing, the date attribute must also be in one of these three forms. These forms are compatible with all other FME dates.
