Hi Bhavbhuti, I do not know the exact solution, but I'd say:
> COALESCE(CAST(tPB.dBillDt AS TIMESTAMP), '') AS tDocDt converts timestamp inside servers environment to a string - the returning client receives a string and does not know about it's datatype - yet does not a apply specific translations. With > CAST(COALESCE(tPB.dBillDt, '') AS TIMESTAMP) AS tDocDt it's just the other way round: While the server deals with string and timestamp, the client receives a timestamp an does know what to with it. I'd say, this behavior is expectable...
