Subject: Building a timestamp from a date and time
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I can't find anything
appropriate in the RPG Reference or the archives.
If startDate and startTime are D and T types respectively, what is the
simplest way to create a timestamp that represents that date/time? Here
is what I've got:
startTS = %timestamp(%char(startDate : *ISO) + %char(startTime : *ISO) +
'.000000');
I'm sure you'll agree this is less than ideal, if only because it is so
verbose. Other attempts were:
startTS = startDate + startTime;
startTS = %timestamp(startDate + startTime);
startTS += startDate; startTS += startTime;
I suppose one way that might work, since this is SQLRPGLE already would be
exec sql SELECT TIMESTAMP(:startDate, :startTime) FROM sysibm/sysdummy1
INTO :startTS;
but it would be nice to have an non-SQL option.
