Re: Time Math in RPGLE

On my system (V3R2) it tells me that I need a duration entry in factor
two when I try to key this in.  This implies to me that (at least at V3R2)
you can't subtract two timestamps to get a time.

Also, what would it do if the timestamps were over a day apart?  Wouldnt
that cause a "receiver value is too small to hold result"?
