Powerbuilder resets date and time when one of them is modified
I have a date column in my datawindow which i separated into two fields using edit mask one has mask of 'mm/dd/yy' and the other 'hh:mm'.
but when i modify the date field then the time field becomes 00:00
and when i modify the timefield then the date field becomes 01/01/1900
so i can never place an approrpiate date/time because they keep canceling eachother out.
i tried manipulating the 'data' value within itemchanged event since that's where i noticed it'd rest the time.
but that didn't work. i tried using replace, and setitem, then accepttext() and that didn't work i still get time = 00:00.
please point me to the right direction.

I just had one quick question about your solution , you stated
"By the way, the date_portion and the time_portion is not included in the updatable columns "
Did you mean that the date_portion and the time_portion should NOT be selected as updatable columns, in the Update Proporties ?
In my case, i did not select them .
Please clarify, thanks.
