Problem Note 58421: The decimal values displayed by the E8601DT26.6 and DATETIME26.6 formats might be different for the same datetime value
Due to the different algorithms that are used to write datetime values, the decimal values that are displayed with the DATETIME26.6 and E8601DT26.6 formats could be different when the datetime value is negative.
There is currently no circumvention for this issue.
