RE: Time

If you are using RDi (and maybe even WDSC) you can also just put the
fixed format opcode on a C line, put your cursor over it and hit F1 -
that brings up the help and at the top it has the links to the free
format versions.

The RPG Reference is a good place to start if one is familiar with the
fixed-form operation codes and is looking for the /free alternative.
Open the Operation Codes chapter, scroll down to TIME and read that. At

the very top are the hyper-linked Free-Form Syntax alternatives.

I find it almost impossible to remember all the different possibilities,

and have downloaded the .pdf onto my computer so I can use it without
worrying about trying to locate it on the web.
