Date column types
If
you define a DataWindow with a column of type Date and deploy it
with a DBMS that uses the DateTime datatype, set the StaticBind
database parameter to 0 or No. This forces PowerBuilder to get a result
set description before retrieving data and adjust the bind information
if necessary.
For more information, see the StaticBind DBParm parameter in the online Help.
