Native I/O should fully support all precisions, despite what limitations

Just try to fill a timestamp variable with 12 microseconds with the RPG
built-in-Function %Timestamp() or Display DSPLY %Timestamp(*SYS: 12).

Birgitta, I think you have not read Chuck's post carefully enough. He
is saying that any failure to utilize the full precision of the
timestamp is a limitation in the programming language. In the context
of this discussion, he is saying that RPG doesn't support the full
precision, but other HLLs are free to support as much or as little
precision as they wish.

After fill the same variable with the SQL special register.
I'm quite sure in the first case the result looks like:
YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MI-SS.XXX000000000000 and in the second case all digits are
filled.

And you have precisely illustrated Chuck's point.
