big problem with date fields[U9.4]

Author: spanish_uniface@hotmail.es (uniface8)

Hi all, i have a big problem with datefields; we have stored in our database fielddates with format '0001-01-01 00:00:00.000000' but U9.4 not recognize that as a date format, so when i retrieve that fields, uniface returns only zeros '00000000'.

Is there any parameter to modificate that?

I mean, i know that i can control that with a few lines of code, but we have thousands of forms, any other solution will be great.

Regards,Rafa.

Have a look at the different options you have defining the Interface of the date-field in your data model.

Beside the simple "D" you have a couple of variations (D1 ... D8 ..)

Think your problem is solved by entering the "best-match" Date-option.

Success, Uli

Thanks Uli, our datefield is E8 (it´s combined date and time), I think is right, but I test different options.

Hi,

 

I havn't test it, but have a look at the dbms-parameters, e.g. oracle

USYS$ORA_PARAMS = use_timestamp

Maybe this helps.

Best regards

Thomas
