Error - Importing DATE metadata from Oracle in DS801

[ds_is_fun]

When I import my table which has column type DATE it wouldn't let me view my data. Error below -
##I IIS-DSEE-TUTL-00031 10:48:03(001) <main_program> The open files limit is 15000; raising to 65536.

At the sametime when I change to TIMESTAMP it lets me.
Pl. answer. Thanks

That's because it's a timestamp.

There is no automatic conversion to date - that's what the error message is telling you. Therefore you can not simply assert that the column is of type DATE and expect to import from an Oracle TIMESTAMP into it.

Put another way, your metadata must accord with what's out there.
