Try using %date(). It will return the current system date.

Subject: %time

I thought I had asked this question in the past but I can't find it anywhere
in the archives.

Could somebody point me to some documentation on how to use the %time bif
that came in V5R1?  I need to know what data type it returns when I just
want to get the current time.  I am trying to do something like the
following:
D CurTime         S              6  0
 . . .
curTime = %time();

I have checked all of the RPG manuals in the infocenter but have come up
with nothing.
