Re: UDATE fails in RPG CGI?

[jpcarr@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Is it a bug?  NO.

Pretend that you had a batch job running.   It receives a message from a
message queue.
In that message text is a program name to be called.   The batch job calls
the program name from the message.   That called program does a UDATE.
What date do you think it would have?   The date the "JOB" was started.
ie the Batch job !

CGI is like that.

Soooooo     Use the TIME operation to a timestamp  much better anyway

------------------------------

When RPG CGI is called to run by HTTP server, UDATE does not return the
system date. Instead, it returns a value representing the date when the
HTTP
server instance was started. This happens in both V4R3 and V4R4.

Is this a bug?   TIA.
