Creating Data Fields as TIMESTAMP for Jethro and Impala

In previous releases, attempting to create a table in Jethro or Impala from a synonym using the Recreate DBMS Table (or CREATE FILE) option in the DMC with fields described as YYMD or Date would fail with a syntax error. This was due to the fact that a data type would not be specified.

As of this release, such fields are created as TIMESTAMP and an error does not occur.

Note: Neither Jethro or Impala have a DATE datatype.
