Kris, I am not sure what release you are on, but... Display files do support TIMESTAMP fields as of V4R2. Timestamps are defined as type Z and can be used as in: A R FORMAT TIMEZONE Z 1 5 DATEFIELD L 2 5 Where the following works on my system: Ftimezones if e disk F* F* timezones file is defined as: F* R RECORD F* TIMEZONE Z F* F* and initialized with: F* F* INSERT INTO VINING/TIMEZONES VALUES('0001-01-01-00.00.00.000000') F* INSERT INTO VINING/TIMEZONES VALUES('1901-12-25-01.15.00.000000') F* Fdspf cf e workstn F* F* timezones file is defined as: F* R RECORD F* TIMEZONE Z F* Ddatefield s d C read record C move timezone datefield C exfmt format C move '1' *inlr C return Prior to V4R2 *DSPFs did not support Date, Time, or Timestamp but Dates could certainly exceed the 1940 to 2039 window. As example of this would be: Ftimezones if e disk Ddatefield s d C read record 01 C *in01 doweq '0' C move timezone datefield C datefield dsply C read record 01 C enddo C move '1' *inlr C return Is it possible you have your Date/Timestamp defined with only a 2-digit year format? This is typically where I see the 1940 to 2039 window being applied.
