Re: how to report problems with Quantum DB plug-in?

["Dave Shaw" <daveshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard,

I believe that *ISO supports dates from '0001-01-01' to '9999-12-31'.  *MDY only supports '01/01/40' (1940) to '12/31/39' (2039).  I believe that Michael is correct that his problem is due to Quantum defaulting to *MDY, and I hope that the suggestions others have made about adding an explicit date format command to the connect string fix his problem.

Note that if *ISO didn't support dates before 1/1/40, Michael wouldn't have been able to put them in the database in the first place.
