Re: How is it possible to have invalid time in a time field?

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In one program I have a statement " eval RTIME = %time(*hival).  In the 
next program the field RTIME is a parm for a procedure.  The line to 
call a procedure fails before the attempt to make the call with the 
message that the value in the field is invalid.  There is no user 
involvement.

At least, thats the way it appears to me.  There may be a *duh* in there 
somewhere but it is stumping me at the moment.
