Automatic data type conversion
Data Shaping Language can automatically convert a data type into another.
This happens when you map a field to another field with a different data type, for example.Information noteWarning: Some conversions
may lead to errors or data loss. For example, when converting a string to a boolean, the
content of the string is lost if the string is not "true". When converting
numbers, some precision can be lost if the source type has a higher precision than the target
type.
You can also convert data types manually using functions. For more information, see Data type functions.
