Teradata 06.01.0143 V2R

Ok I have been struggling with this one for a week now ..

Queries that succeed in TD SQL Assistant seem to fail in Business Objects XI R2 SP2. Simple queries work fine in all of them .. it's only when I do a subtraction of two TIMESTAMP fields that anything has a problem ..

I've tried the casting and things like suggested in the while papers on Time.Date and timestamp..

They yield an invalid data type message

As usual the BO support folks are pointing at the ODBC driver for TD and saying it isn't their fault..

Any help would be appreciated !!!

Query:

     SELECT (FEDX_FPOS_PROD_VIEW_DB.pos_transaction.TRAN_END_TMSTP -
     FEDX_FPOS_PROD_VIEW_DB.pos_transaction.handled_tmstp day(4) to second(6))
     FROM FEDX_FPOS_PROD_VIEW_DB.pos_transaction

1) Works in TD SQL Assistant (About says: 7.1.0 English October 12, 2005) on Desktop

2) Failed with the following Error message in Desktop Business Object s - defined beneath error message:
