Re: Can we retrieve MILLISECONDS?

We do this so we can place the current time in a 9 long numeric field. Works
great.

d                 ds
d #Timea                        14a
d  #SysTime                      9s 0 overlay(#Timea)

* This logic captures the system timestamp & extracts the periods
 * so it can be placed in the time field.

c                   eval      #timea = %SUBST(%CHAR(%TIMESTAMP):12)
c                   eval      #timea = %replace('':#timea:3:1)
c                   eval      #timea = %replace('':#timea:5:1)
c                   eval      #timea = %replace('':#timea:7:1)
c                   eval      cztime = #SysTime
