    I'm looking at the SQL statement of a remoteview to a SQL Server table
    through View SQL of the View Designer and the prg generated from gendbc. I
    notice that some Date fields are showing having DataType D or DataType
    D(8). What is the difference between DataType D and DataType D(8)?

    Thanks.
