DateTime Add

The DateTime Add algorithm is used to add the specified number of seconds to the given date.

 

For example, it may happen you have a DateTime value that is rounded to a whole minute in the source column. To preserve seconds, you can create a new DateTime instance (with the specified number of seconds). The value of a newly created instance will be the result of this manipulate step.
