Overview

   This factory is used to convert datetime strings between different datetime
   formats. Multiple datetimes can be entered into DATETIME_ATTR but must all
   match the input format, IN_FORMAT. The output will have the inputed
   attributes changed in place to match the output format, OUT_FORMAT.
   If a feature is rejected, all valid dates will still be converted on that
   feature.

Clauses

   DATETIME_ATTR

      A FMEParsableText-encoded list of attribute names, space separated.

   IN_FORMAT
   
      Specifies a format string inline, or specify an attribute that contains
      a format string. There are several presets to choose from.

   OUT_FORMAT

       Specifies a format string inline, or specify an attribute that contains
       a format string. There are several presets to choose from.

   REPAIR_INPUT
   
      If set to Yes, overflow date/time parts such as leap seconds will be rolled forward.
      For example, 2017-02-29 would be repaired into 2017-03-01. If set to No, input
      containing overflow date/time parts will be rejected.

   PASSTHROUGH

      If this parameter is No, any attributes specified in Datetime Attributes that
      are null, missing or have an empty value will result in the feature being rejected.
      If this parameter is Yes, then any null, missing, or empty attributes
      will be left unchanged and will not cause the feature to be rejected.
