I am baffled how to deal with dddsel and DATE-typed attributes.

First let's have a look at the 'jdata' dBASE sample data distributed
with J:

           ]s =. 'select hire_date from emp' ddsel c
        34416904
           ddfet s,_1
        _1
           dderr ''
        ISI09 Unsupported data type - more error info available (2)

Not suprisingly, a 'select * from emp' query is thwarted the same way.
(But _very_ surprisingly if you start with this (natural) query.)

How can I access that attribute?
How can I access the "more error info available" ?

Is there _any_ way around this?

As far as I understand
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odbc/htm/odbcsql_data_types.asp
the SQL type DATE is supported by ODBC per se.
