Date/time/timestamp have worked that way "forever."
Well, I'm still a relative newcomer to the platform. :-)
I think we've had them in DDS since V3R1, but I could be misremembering... it was too long ago!
I have not yet done more serious "porting" of my applications to V3, so I also can't tell.
I need to learn about ways to properly check for errors without some BIFs not available in ILE RPG on V3. Example: %STATUS(MYPF).
At any rate, I don't think anyone today will have trouble with the ability to use them.
I fully agree.
What do you find cumbersome in RPG? I have always found date/time/timestamps very easy to use.
Well, if you want to read or write a date/time/timestamps from/to an RPG variable, you first need to MOVE or or EVAL the content from/to the internal/external variable. I feel that's cumbersome compared to the handling of string, or numeric variables.
Of course, it's *much* less painful than handling date/time values with C. ;-)
:wq! PoC
