ODBC SQL SERVER datetime imported to Designer came in as 93

Hi there,I am connecting to SQL Server tables thru ODBC stages

when I import the DDL's I noted that data types 'date time' come in as data type '93' - which is not a valid data type

When I link the connector stages to a join stage - and I attempt to view the input columns - the page is grey with no column names - and usually - DataStage Designer fails - I assume because of the invalid data type 93

Got around problem by changing data type 93 to data type Timestamp

Is this a known problem with ODBC? or importing SQL Server tables?

How exactly are you importing the metadata?
