We are testing programs that we migrated from 4.36 to 5.25, and encountered a problem. The code uses passthru SQL to oracle, and one of the fields selected is an Oracle Date format field. 4.36 recognizes this as YYMD. 5.25 declares this as HYYMDS, and subsequent defines that use this field fail.

What is HYYMDS? How can I get it back to YYMD with minimal code change? This impacts a ton of existing program code.

In the 5.x release of the Reporting Server, the default for dates was changed from YYMD (date field) to HYYMDS (datetime field). You can manually changed the MFD from HYYMDS/HYYMDS (usage/actual) to YYMD/DATE (usage/actual). To change back to the old default, simply add the following line to your server profile (EDASPROF.PRF).

SQL SQLORA SET DATETIME OFF

Any new metadata (MFDs, masters, etc), will now be created with YYMD/DATE as the default usage/actual.
