RE: SQL - date field into a datetime field

This did not work the way I had hoped, my c# program did not perceive the timestamp as a datetime field.

Or I did it wrong.

Thanks, Tim

Subject: SQL - date field into a datetime field

Is there an easy way to do this?

I have a DDS file with a 'date' field. Type 'L'.

However a pc program needs to see the value in a datetime value.

I do not have the source code for the PC program, so I cannot do a
convert.to(datetime

But I do have access of the SQL command to retrieve the data from the
as/400. Is there a way to transform via sql a date field into a datetime
field I'm ok setting the time to midnight or some other arbitrary number.

Thanks, Tim
