Anyone have a good routine to build a timestamp field? david What I have just started doing for a timestamp is using three fields: *date + time + Userid. (Don't anyone tell Carr, but I am taking his advice. I've described the date field as an L-date field.) *DATE is available, Time is easy to get, and the current user ID is in the system data structure and also easy to get. In this way I am using fields outside the control of the user or the program. My hope is that this proves both easy and reliable. ---------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin Contract Programming, Inc. --------------------------------------------------- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to "MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com". | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MAJORDOMO@midrange.com | and specify 'unsubscribe MIDRANGE-L' in the body of your message. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
