Extracted date fields showing as timestamps with 00:00:00 time

Good day

Could someone please assist?

When I extract a date from our Oracle Data Warehouse, it shows in Qlikview in a timestamp format.

Is there a way to counter this without a "workaround"?

//Script

select

CALENDAR_DATE, 

LY_CALENDAR_DATE,

FIN_WEEK_END_DATE

from

  DIM_CALENDAR;

All three fields have a timestamp format in Qlikview with 00:00:00 time.  In the source table it had a DATA_TYPE of Date.

//Workaround

LOAD

FIN_WEEK_END_DATE,

date(CALENDAR_DATE) as CALENDAR_DATE,

date(LY_CALENDAR_DATE) as LY_CALENDAR_DATE;

select

CALENDAR_DATE,

LY_CALENDAR_DATE,

FIN_WEEK_END_DATE

from

  DIM_CALENDAR;


In the workaround, CALENDAR_DATE and LY_CALENDAR_DATE now appear in date format in Qlikview.  FIN_WEEK_END_DATE is in timestamp format.


Anybody know what I'm missing?
