Description
## Background
We have DB2 tables where fields are declared as Date and Timestamp. When files are downloaded, the Copybook defines these fields as alphanumeric:
Date: X(10)
Timestamp: X(26)
When these files are moved to a distributed environment and read through Cobrix, the fields are treated as String, as the Cobol Copybook defines them as alphanumeric.
## Feature
For these date fields, can we modify the Copybook definition to something other than X(10) or X(26) , in order to explicitly indicate that they represent Date and Timestamp fields? This change would allow Cobrix to correctly interpret them as Date and Timestamp data types when creating the DataFrame.
## Example [Optional]
