Timestamp

[Jens Kalkbrenner]

Is there any chance to get the content of a timestamp field?
I am trying to get the content via Visual Objects and I am receiving only
nothing.
Not NIL but "".
Is it possible to get any useful information out of this field in any
language?
(btw I know that the MS-Timestamp is not a timeformat)

THX

I don't know anything about Visual Objects, however a timestamp column
behaves like a binary(8) column, so perhaps your tool is treating it
as character data?
