34) What is the COBOL picture clause of the following DB2 data types:
DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP?
DATE: PIC X(10)
TIME : PIC X(08)
TIMESTAMP: PIC X(26)
Date contains : YYYYMMDD, why does it require X(10) ?

| The idea behind the Interview Questions forum is that you tell us the answers that you think are correct, and other forum members will tell you if you are correct or not, or maybe offer a better answer. |

The format of the character string returned for a date, time, or timestamp depends on the setup of DB2 for your system, and would include some punctuation. For a date it could be yyyy-mm-dd or mm/dd/yyyy or dd.mm.yyyy or some other format. |
