DBTIME environment variable (deprecated)

The DBTIME environment variable specifies the custom display formats of values in DATETIME columns for SQL API routines in the ESQL/C function libraries.

HCL OneDB™ products support DBTIME for compatibility with earlier products. It is recommended that you use the GL_DATETIME environment variable for new applications. See also Display formats.

DBTIME { <Standard DBTIME formats> ^{(explicit id )} | <Era-based DBTIME formats> ^{(explicit id )} }

Tip: DBTIME affects only certain formatting routines in the ESQL/C function libraries. See DATETIME-format functions.
