RE: Time in free form syntax

["Tyler, Matt" <mattt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Justin,
Try this...

D SystemTime       S      T   INZ(*SYS)

Every time you need to update SystemTime do...

 Reset SystemTime


Thank you,

Hi Everyone.
            I have just started to code with free-form syntax and have
run in to an issue with getting the current system time. Before I would
use:
D   CurrentTime               6S 0
C   TIME                      CurrentTime
But now I want to convert this to free-form. My IBM Manual says the TIME
opcode is not allowed, use %DATE, %TIME, %TIMSTAMP. But all of these
BIF's are to convert a character or numeric input to a date, time, or
timestamp. They do not retrieve the current system time. Does anyone
have a solution?
