Re: How do I retrieve today's date in CL?

I'm on V5R2 and DATETIME is not a job attribute.  It came in with V5R3,
I believe.


booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx 02/08/2007 12:17:54 PM >>>

Now it won;t even compile:

     800-     PGM
     900-              DCL        VAR(&DATTIM) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20)
    1000-              RTVJOBA    DATETIME(&DATTIM)
* CPD0043 30  Keyword DATETIME not valid for this command.

Now I am waiting for another True Moment of *DUH*

Booth,


I tried RTVJOBA DATETIME(&FIELD20A)  and it says it is not a valid
keyword?  I am confused yet again.


Hmmm... I just tried the folowing program and it worked just fine for

me. 

Can you elaborate?

PGM
     DCL VAR(&FIELD20A) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20)
     RTVJOBA DATETIME(&FIELD20A)
     SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9897) MSGF(QCPFMSG) MSGTYPE(*COMP) +
               MSGDTA('DATE AND TIME IS ' *CAT &FIELD20A)
ENDPGM
