Format DateTime to DateTime with Milliseconds - csv

Question

I am pulling data from database into a recordset then converting to array and then writing to a CSV.
In the database all date values are stored as timestamps in this format.
2016-05-04 08:00:00.000000
But when I write to the CSV file the timestamp does not include the milliseconds.
Anyone know how to preserve the milliseconds?
Does the data in the recordset include the milliseconds?

The only field I am having issues with is field 17 of the recordset.
It is a timestamp datatype from a DB2 database.

Answer 1

The issue was the format is a timestamp in DB2 database. When i pull into a recordset it loses the milliseconds. My solution was to modify the query to add an extra row that pulls in only milliseconds and then later concatenate that back to the date. Please see below. Thanks for everyones help.
