Put a %char around it and see what text value it is returning. That might
give you more to go on.

Anybody run into this? I can't get the difference in milliseconds or
microseconds between today and 01/01/1970:


D TEST PR EXTPGM('TEST')

D TEST PI

D ts S z
D ts2 S z
D ms S 30 0
D mseconds S 30 0

/free
ts = %timestamp();
ts2 = z'1970-01-01-00.00.00';
ms = %diff(ts: ts2: *ms);
mseconds = %diff(ts: ts2: *mseconds);

*inlr = *on;
return;
/end-free

This blows up with RNQ0103 (The target for a numeric operation is too
small to hold the result) on the first %diff. Am I missing something
fundamental? V5R4, a bit out of date on PTFs.
