Hi Patrik
I'm confused about your statement about internal/external variables for date/time values - I've never used anything like that in RPG that I know of - can you give us an example? What is the value of an internal variable for the date 2023/6/23?
Just curious
Vern

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. ;-)
