I need to retrieve the current system time in an AJS job, saving in an AJS

RTVSYSVAL is only allowed to run in a CL program context because it retrieves a
value and assigns it to a passed in variable.

TBH, I'm not familiar with AJS... but if it runs commands in a batch context
(which I'm assuming here), then the RTVSYSVAL command won't work because it's
not in a program.

Most of the RTV commands behave this way ... unless they are putting the
information into some external container (like RTVCLSRC puts the source into a
source member).
