datetime
datetime returns CS_DATETIME, an 8-byte datetime datatype with a range of legal values from January 1, 1753, to December 31, 9999, and a precision of 1/300th of a second (3.33 milliseconds).
datetime4 returns CS_DATETIME4, a 4-byte datetime datatype with a range of legal values from January 1, 1900, to June 6, 2079, and a precision of 1 minute.
char_iso returns CS_CHAR, character data in the format yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss.nnnnnn.
char_usa returns CS_CHAR, character data in the format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm [AM | PM].
char_eur returns CS_CHAR, character data in the format dd.mm.yyyy hh.mm.ss.
char_jis returns CS_CHAR, character data in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.
char_odbc returns CS_CHAR, character data in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.nnnnnn.
You can convert DB2 TIMESTAMP to one of the character formats to retain more precision. CS_DATETIME has less precision (1/300ths of a second) than TIMESTAMP (millionths of a second).
