DBTIME (ESQL/C)

IBM Informix products support DBTIME for compatibility with earlier products. We recommend that you use the GL_DATETIME environment variable for new applications. The DBTIME environment variable specifies the end-user formats of values in DATETIME columns for SQL API routines. See also End-User Formats.
