Re: Date/Time fields in DB file

Hi Patrik

I don't have access to my pre 6.1 manuals so can't check on the older 
DDS. The 6.1 manual has this behavior described for date, time, and 
timestamp fields - look in your manual for the words "If the DFT keyword 
is not specified". This is in the documentation for the DFT keyword.

I'm trying to remember, when did true date/time/timestamp data types 
come into DDS? I don't think we always had them.

Cheers
Vern
