Re: Display field conversion to Time field

Is the option to limit the kind of entries open?  Here's one way that might
work:
You could limit the user to only use a 5 position character field(HH:SS)
with a seperate 2 character field(AM or PM) or
you could limit the user to only use a 2 position character field(HH) with
a seperate 2 chacter field(AM or PM).

Subject:    Display field conversion to Time field


We want to have a character time field on a screen, which will then have to
be converted to a Time datatype within the RPG program.  We were trying to
come up with all of the different possibilities they could enter, just
using
a pseudo-*USA format:  10:30 AM, 10 AM, 2 PM, etc.  Has anyone else worked
with this scenario?  Trying to code for all or most of the possibilities
seems overwhelming.  Thanks.
