Re: CL: Numeric padding

Hello Roger,

Consider using sysval QDATETIME. Then, just pull out the substring. Two lines of code.

Format: YYYYMMDDHHNNSSXXXXXX

Thanks! I ended up with:

DCL VAR(&TAPDRV) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(5) VALUE(TAP01)
DCL VAR(&NOW) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
DCL VAR(&TAPLBL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)

CHGJOB JOB(*) DATFMT(*YMD)

RTVJOBA DATE(&NOW)
CVTDAT DATE(&NOW) TOVAR(&TAPLBL) FROMFMT(*JOB) TOFMT(*YMD) TOSEP(*NONE)

That does the trick.

:wq! PoC
