I am having a timestamp edit code problem with midnight as 00:00:00 but I want 24:00:00

Booth, I don't think you can easily do this. There was a discussion a while back about time data types and if I recall, the conclusion was That's Just The Way It Is.

00.00.00 is the end of today and 24.00.00 is the beginning of tomorrow but you still can't compare them, i.e.

d stamp s z

c/free
stamp = z'2007-05-16-00.00.00';
dsply (stamp + %seconds(1)); // 2007-05-16-00.00.01
dsply (stamp - %seconds(1)); // 2007-05-15-23.59.59

stamp = z'2007-05-16-24.00.00';
dsply stamp; // 2007-05-16-24.00.00
dsply (stamp + %seconds(1)); // 2007-05-17-00.00.01
dsply (stamp - %seconds(1)); // 2007-05-16-23.59.59

if stamp = z'2007-05-17-00.00.00';
dsply 'unexpectedly equal';
endif;

*inlr = *on;
