ID Number: Q83266

1.10 1.11 4.20

OS/2

Summary:

This article describes the change in default datetime display format

that took effect in DB-LIBRARY (db-lib) versions 1.16 and later.

(Note: SQL Server version 1.11 shipped with db-lib version 1.17.)

The following is the format for db-lib versions 1.11, 1.12, and 1.14:

"Jan 1 1991 12:00AM"

"Jan 23 1991 12:00AM"

For db-lib versions 1.16 and later (including db-lib 4.20.00), this

format is as follows:

" Jan 1 1991 12:00AM"

"Jan 23 1991 12:00AM"

This difference resulted from the change in the way dbconvert()

converts a datetime field to SQLCHAR.
