Me bad. Never dawned on me to look at the 6 0 description.

You can't initialize this way.
RNF3430: Initial value *SYS does not match data type of field SYSTIME.
Initial value is ignored

What about:

D SYSYMD S 6 0 inz(*SYS)

D SYSTIME S 6 0 inz(*SYS)

?

Another choice would be to not use the two fields at all, nut instead use
%date() & %time() where you are using SYSMYD & SYSTIME; e.g. eval DateField
= %date()

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 Jim Horn
