Datetime2 is recognized as VARCHAR(27)

Hi Experts,

I am using SAP Stata services 4.1 SP1 with SQL Server 2008 backend. The problem is, I have table having datatype datetime2 in SQL Server backend. But this datetime2 is recognized as varchar(27) in Dataservices. I have gone through DS reference guides and it is saying SQL server datetime and datetime2 should be Datetime in DS. I need immediate help.

Can anyone help me to overcome this problem? Why Datetime2 is recognized as Varchar(27)? Is it DS expected behaviour?

Regards,

Deepa.
