I have a number of mass database updates where SQL would be very convenient instead of writing RPG programs. The complication is that my UPDATE statement also needs to populate a couple of audit fields: a 7 digit numeric field that holds the Last Change Date (CYYMMDD format) and a 6 digit numeric field for the Last Change Time (HHMMSS format). For example, a record updated on Jan 20, 2007 at 11:30:43AM should be updated with Change Date = 1070120 and Change Time = 113043 (since we are already in the third millennium, I don't need to be concerned with the zero century digit for dates earlier than 2000). Is there a way to retrieve the current date and time into my UPDATE statement and format them to obtain the time stamp fields that I need? Thank you!
