"some days they can't remember their passwords"
Ain't that the truth.  Simply amazing sometimes that these people have 
jobs.

Re: Display field conversion to Time field






Some followup:
We did try and use separate time and "AM/PM" fields in another 
application.
It still seemed a pain to have to figure out if they typed the ":" or not.
And, yes, it is too much to ask that users key in hh:mm... some days they
can't remember their passwords, even though they use the system every day!
Because we felt it would be too restrictive, we didn't want to use a time
field on the display file - otherwise, that would have solved all our
problems.

Subject: Display field conversion to Time field
 
We want to have a character time field on a screen, which will then have 
to
be converted to a Time datatype within the RPG program. We were trying to
come up with all of the different possibilities they could enter, just
using
a pseudo-*USA format: 10:30 AM, 10 AM, 2 PM, etc. Has anyone else worked
with this scenario? Trying to code for all or most of the possibilities
seems overwhelming. Thanks.
