In Apama query definitions, time literals can be in within clauses. They are either float or integer literals followed by a unit. Not all units are required, but they have to be in order.

You can specify the following time literals, in the following order:

For example:

A space is required between a float or integer literal and its associated time unit. A space is required between a time unit and a float or integer literal that follows it. Additional whitespace is also allowed.

You cannot specify a negative number.

Outside a query, you can use these keywords as identifiers. Inside a query, you cannot use these keywords as identifiers unless you prefix them with a hash symbol (#). See also Keywords.
