Jeez, our V3R2 model D60 does that!  Well, OK, what it does as it concerns the
original question, is that the same timestamp can, in fact, be written out for
more than one record.  My test:

PF $$$AP:
     A          R @@@AP
     A            FIELD1        10A
     A            TIMEST          Z

LF $$$AL:
     A          R @@@AP                     PFILE($$$AP)
     A            FIELD1

RPG $$$AR3:
     F$$$AL   O   E                    DISK
     C                     DO   1000      X       50
     C                     MOVELX         FIELD1
     C                     WRITE@@@AP
     C                     ENDDO
     C                     SETON                     LR

Results:

      1  00001      2000-11-22-14.11.39.052032
