Re: Timestamp edit code problem with midnight as 00:00:00 but I want 24:00:00

In discussions here it was said that 00:00:00 and 24:00:00 are exactly the same point in time; that is, midnight, However the next comment was that they are not really the same because if you had asked Betty Boop to meet you today at 24:00:00 she'd be waiting for you tonight at midnight, not last night at midnight. Which raised the next question: What does the military do? Do they have such a time as twenty four hundred hours? Is zero hour really midnight?

I guess the conclusion is that life has small conflictions and that is why we need context in our lives?

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.

Shouldn't that be the other way around?

Yes, you're right.

stamp = z'2007-05-16-24.00.00'; if stamp = z'2007-05-17-00.00.00';
dsply 'unexpectedly equal';
endif;

Just to be clear, the dsply line will be executed, right? I think that's what I remember from the previous discussion. That seems really wacky .... a = b, but a - 1 <> b - 1.

The DSPLY does NOT execute on my V5R4.
