RE: Getting the Date & Time from a Timestamp

Yes there is, if you are using RPGIV (regular RPG doesn't use a timestamp 
anyway).  It is the move opcode.

Here is some code I just tried and it worked just fine.  Not very elegant, but 
I'm not elegant anyway (as always, use fixed font):

0018.00 D TmStamp         S               Z   inz                         
0019.00 C*  ..................................................            
0020.00 C                   Time                    TmStamp               
0021.00 C                   MOVEl     TmStamp       FIELD20          20 0 
0022.00 c     field20       mult      .000001       field6            6 0 

field6 then held a value of "124352" and the time here was 12:43, more or less.

In fact I think there is a simpler way but I couldn't discover it.
