Dateformat trouble with time.

Dear all,
 
Much to my disgust I have encountered the following problem with TIME.
In indefinite running batchjobs (servers) we use the TIME to get to the correct 
date independent of the actual jobdate.
We assumed that the format we would get the date part of the time in would 
comply with the H DATEDIT(*YMD)  header specification we use in all our 
programs.
 
Recently we discovered that this is not the case and the dateformat is in the 
*SYSVAL format.
So when the *SYSVAL is *DMY we get as time: $H14N0 = 17195413012005.
When the *SYSVAL is *YMD we get as time    : $H14N0 = 11503120050114.
 
Should I have expected this??
 
Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis.
