What happened to datatype=Time in V9

[leodejong]

Hi,

We are busy migrating from V8.4 to V9.0 on z/OS. And i having trouble with an AG which has a field type is Time.
When i use XML to define the AG in V9.0 i get
ARS7749E The JOBTIME object cannot be added to the applicationGroup object named 'JOBLOG'.

JOBTIME is defined as:

<field name="JOBTIME" type="Index" dataType="Time" >   
</field >                                             

And on the Admin client:  Time or Time (old style) is not on the Pull-down menu for a field .

however converted repositories do display the type correctly.

Is this datatype depreciated ?? Where is this documented ??

Anybody know

Leo - this is a complicated topic.

Just to start this conversation rolling please see the following:

The most important thing to take out of this right now is that you don't have to use the new time style right away.  You can continue with business as usual and use V8.x clients.

However - once you make the move to start using the new date/time facilities, clients have to be on 9.0 or later.

Pointer to another piece of doc:

CMOD 3Q14 Newsletter mentions Date(old style):
