Could you elaborate a bit more on your request? A “flow service” is not an Adabas service. Is this a question you need to post under a different forum? ---

If you want to know this in order to access fields with date/time values in an Adabas database, new features introduced with Adabas v6.2 can do this for you. For more information look in the Adabas v6.2 documentation the descriptions of the new DT and TS field option and of date/time edit masks in the format and search buffer. Wolfgang Obmann ---
