I tried using  "$dbh->cs_dt_info(CS_SET, CS_DT_CONVFMT, CS_UNUSED,
CS_DATES_LONG );" and now I get the error as below.

Usage: Sybase::CTlib::cs_dt_info(action, type, item, buffer) at C:\tmp\x.pl
line 13.

I tried changing it to "$dbh->cs_dt_info(CS_SET, CS_DT_CONVFMT,
CS_DATES_LONG , CS_UNUSED);" assuming that item and buffer are in the wrong
place in the statement. that also did not helped.

I'm not using any convert to get the values from the table. The column type
is datetime and I'm selecting it as is.

Thanks

Also consider just using smalldatetime (stores dates down to the minute)
instead of datetime -- rarely does anyone really need that kind of
resolution on a time stamp.
