subject: Date/Time fields in DB file

I recently added an ISO date and ISO time field to an existing database
file (DDS). This file is populated by our TrustedLink EDI software when we
receive an inbound PO. I guess I had hoped it would capture the date/time
the record was created. Tli support says the EDI translator won't update
those "automatically".

Anyone know of a method of getting these fields to update with current
info upon creation? Otherwise, I'll have to update them in my RPG
processing program.

TIA,
Greg
