Curaçao, Dutch Antilles. The pearl of the Caribbean. It's winter here so during the day minimal 27 degrees Celsius (about the same temperature as the sea).... Cold..... Brrrrrrr. You come along?? See you at the beach....! Eduard. rob@xxxxxxxxx wrote: Beach? Where are you at? Here it's 19 degrees Fahrenheit. >From Seinfield "It's called shrinkage!".

Hmmm, I know I'm not a walking reference for some reasons. But in this case it would have been better to have a look first in it... Ok the thing that now works for me is: DTODAY S D DATFMT(*ISO) * C TIME TODAY C MOVE TODAY $H08N0 And than I can go on with my formatting routine to make the date presentable. Thanks again. This is enough for today..... I go to the beach! Cheers, Eduard. "DeLong, Eric" wrote: Yes, that's right. *YMD is a six-digit date format identifier. If you want an eight-digit format, you must use *ISO, *USA, *EUR, or *JIS. See chapter 14 of the ILE RPG reference for details.

Thanks to all of you. Now I know that I should have expected it. To get to a solution I have played around a bit to find a suitable solution. Changing DATEDIT into DATFMT did not work (the job does what it likes best). So on to the TRUE date/time fields. Much to my surprise I got the next result?? Code: C TIME TODAY C *YMD MOVE TODAY $H08N0 Debug: > EVAL TODAY TODAY = '2005-01-14' > EVAL $H08N0 $H08N0 = 00050114. Interesting? Eduard.

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??
