export feature updated to correctly use the same format of the DB2 datatype for timestamp which is '2500-01-01-12.00.00.00000

Issue with the exporting of information out of Data Studio - when the result comes back as a timestamp (see TAX_LOT_ID and CLOSE_TAX_LOT_ID below), the date and time are separated by a space. When you export to excel, it can't figure out where the next column is. It is not working for Comma Delimited or XML at all (the results get skewed). HTML will give you a table I still see the space, but at least the Timestamp is one cell. When I do a text export you can really see the space.

    RDz is dependent on data studio to provide this functionality. We have opened this request on their queue (RIMS # R2PRO00008798) and is being evaluated for delivery in a future release. We will continue to monitor the request there and once it is provided within data studio, it will be delivered through a RDz release. Thanks.
