IEC 60870 timestamp in zenon

IEC 60870 timestamp in zenon

Hello,
Can you explain me, please, how can we get a timestamp value supplied with variable in datapacket from IEC 60870-5-104 server when using IEC 870 types with time tag CP56Time2a?
Maybe via VBA or some other issues?
It seems, that in database after data evacuation (zenon archiving) field "timestamp_s" contains system timestamp of a variable (timestamp of assignment a new value according to computer clock) instead of time from IEC datapacket in CP56Time2a.
So, another question is, how to get correct timestamp (transmitted by IEC 60870-5-104 server) in database after data evacuation?
