RE: VARPG: Timestamp fields in data files

Tom,

Thinking of the SQL server program we discussed for VARPG last week, if you
were using SQL embedded in the HOST RPG, you could simply bracket the date,
time and Timestamp fields with 'CHAR(timestamp) as "Timestamp"' right in the
SQL and you wouldn't need to worry about the fact that VARPG doesn't support
the field types yet. An added benefit is that you would get formatted
fields. If these fields are for update, then you'd need to TEST them for
validity on the way back in. I hope VARPG will get support for these field
types in the NEAR future. RF

My little technology demonstration VARPG project uses files that have
timestamp data types (DDS type "Z"), and lots of them.  Is there an update
to VARPG that recognizes them?  Or a method to work around the deficiency?

Thanks!
