Why are the Q/K data types that I get from KX in the Datafeed Toolbox 2.0 (R2007a) not native MATLAB data types?

I am using KX in the Datafeed Toolbox 2.0 (R2007a) to retrieve data from the Kx Database. In the data that I retrieve, there are some Q/K datatypes that are not native MATLAB data types. I want to convert all Q/K data types to native MATLAB types.

   c = kx('scsettldap09.bankofamerica.com',50007)

   r = fetch(c,'0! select n:count i by t:`minute$time from trade where date=2007.08.01,sym=`FLIR')

This enhancement has been incorporated in Datafeed Toolbox 3.1 (R2008a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The Q/K data types in the data retrieved from the Kx Database are not native MATLAB data types but they can be converted to MATLAB data types using the following syntax:

r = fetch(c,'0! select n:count i by t:`time$`minute$time from trade where date=2007.08.01,sym=`FLIR')
