Hi Charles,

Same behavior here in the outline for varchar and nvarchar columns.
Looks to me as something that should be fixed.

Best regards,

All,

Running 9.6.0.1 but 9.5.12 works the same

Created a new table that uses varchar columns...

Was freaked out when the outline didn't show the columns as varchar..

Tried both local & global f-specs and as an external DS.

Is this a known issue, working as designed or a bug? I don't recall seeing
this before. But it's been awhile since I had access to a table with
VARCHAR columns.

Compile listing confirms that the columns are being imported as varchar.

Thanks!
