For SAP system on Db2 for i, Db2 for LUW, Oracle, SAP HANA, SAP NetWeaver (on Oracle or HANA), SQL Server, and Sybase ASE database if the option SAP Data Types Conversion is defined, dats will be localized with the source DB's data type for date and then it will be mapped to the corresponding DSS repository data type. For example, if you have SAP on SQL Server, the dats data type will be localized as SQL Server's date type, which is then mapped to ansidate in DSS repository data type.
