To initialize the Date field to the system date at runtime, specify INZ(*SYS) on the definition specification. To initialize the Date field to the job date at runtime, specify INZ(*JOB) on the definition specification. *SYS or *JOB cannot be used with a field that is exported. The Date field can also be initialized to a literal, named constant or figurative constant. --------------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.MartinVT.com Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Date: Friday, March 28, 2003 14:55:21 To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: RE: calculate the difference between two time stamps in hh:mm:ss Barbara, I am spacing big time.

Try adding the seconds to a time value of 00.00.00 to get your duration in a Time field. Try this: time = t'00.00.00' + %seconds(%diff(ts1 : ts2 : *seconds)); or this: c ts1 subdur ts2 secs:*seconds c t'00.00.00' adddur secs:*seconds time _______________________________________________ This is the RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries (RPG400-L) mailing list To post a message email: RPG400-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/rpg400-l or email: RPG400-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l. _______________________________________________ This is the RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries (RPG400-L) mailing list To post a message email: RPG400-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/rpg400-l or email: RPG400-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l. .
