Same program but with time1 initialized to z'2000-01-02-00.00.00.000000' had the same result - not equal

But then Peter has been doing calculations and getting more odd results - woohoo!

Later - time to go to work!

DSPLY 0

Not equal in the eyes of IBM.

RE: 00:00:00 or 24:00:00






24:00 implies duration, meaning midnight at the end of the day. 00:00
implies no duration, meaning
midnight at the beginning of the day.

So your assumption that 01 Jan 2000 24:00 is really the same as 02 Jan
2000
00:00 is correct.
And the standard says they are the same. :) I don't believe that 01 Jan
2000 00:00 and 01 Jan 2000 24:00
will compare to be equal, though it would be cool if someone had time to
test it.
