Good luck with RPG!

There is a TIME opcode. The result field needs to be a six positions numeric
with 0 decimals.

If you prompt a Calc line it will look like this. TIMOUT will get the
current time every time the line is executed.

Pmt  SeqNbr   Lvl  N01N02N03  Factor 1    OpCode  Factor 2    Result
 C   0000.01                              TIME                TIMOUT

Have fun.

Subject: Retrieve system time


Hi Folks

Im new to RPG and after attending a course a week ago
Im now writing my first program - wish me luck :)

I am trying to update a file and one field requires
the current system time.  Im sure this is easy to
obtain when you know how.  Ive used *TIME keyword in
the DDS and this displays the time on the screen OK,
but RPG doesnt like it.  So is there a keyword to get
the time or do I need to do something else to get it
into the RPG.

Im using RPG400 BTW.
Look forward to your replies.
Thanks
Paula
