Is there a better way to retrieve the system date and time than this, or
is this as good as any?
System date, not the job date.
D SYSYMD S 6 0
D SYSTIME S 6 0
/FREE
SYSYMD = %DEC(%SUBST(%CHAR(%TIMESTAMP:*ISO0):3:6):6:0);
SYSTIME = %DEC(%SUBST(%CHAR(%TIMESTAMP:*ISO0):9:6):6:0);
/END-FREE
C SETON LR
Others have show less complicated syntax to get the date and time in
individual operations.
If there's any chance the job in question can run near midnight, it
might be wise to do this instead:
sysDateTime = %timestamp();
sysDate = %date(sysDateTime);
sysTime = %time(sysDateTime);
Suppose that your given code runs at 12:59:59.999999, lets say on
2007-12-14. You have the chance that SYSYMD = d'2007-12-14' and SYSTIME
= '00:00:01'. Of course, this is so unlikely that you may decide to
ignore this possibility, but in some situations it is critical to
consider this.
