Creating a column and Filling all rows by a date and time

NewToThis

I Want to create a column named, say, :CHANGE and then fill all rows by a date in the format 01/15/2026 7:02:26 PM. How do I do that. 

For some reason JSL does not recognize this format

In my opinion only reliable way to format your dates to specific format in JMP (while keeping them as numeric) is to use Format Pattern

Names Default To Here(1);

dt = New Table("Untitled",
	Add Rows(7),
	Compress File When Saved(1)
);

dt << New Column("CHANGE", Numeric, Continuous, Format("Format Pattern", "<MM>/<DD>/<YYYY> <hh>:<mm>:<ss><AMPM>", 21, 0), Set Each Value(
	15Jan202619:02:27
));
