Author Is there a date conversion functoid?

I need a date conversion functoid to turn a string parameter in the form
yyyyMMdd in to a date to map to a destination schema attribute but was
surprised not to find one.

Are there no data type conversion functoids at all? Do you have to write
your own custom script functoid to turn a string to a date instead?

For flat-files BTS2004 will do the custom date-time conversion. See my blog
for details and limitations.

For XML (xs:date for example) you can use a scripting functoid to convert
your string to a date format.

There is no date conversion functoid. You need to use a scripting functoid
and do the conversion.
