Joel, you can't change how TIME works, but you can change your own program to get a constant result in your timestamp: /IF DEFINED(CONSTANT_TIME) C EVAL timestamp = Z'2000-08-23-12.00.00.000000' /ELSE C TIME timestamp /ENDIF When you want to do your testing, compile your RPG program with DEFINE(CONSTANT_TIME). Another way would be to use a trigger program.
