Thanks Scott.
I rarely work with Time values, so your information and the suggestions of others who responded has been of great help.

Subject: Re: Create TimeStamp from numeric fields
Hi Jeff,
I was attempting to use the %timestamp bif to get my timestamp, but
after seeing your example, I realize that by creating Date and Time
fields concatenated into a TimeStamp data type field that it will do
exactly what I need.
You could use %timestamp() as well if you wanted to. IMHO, it's a
little more cumbersome, but it'd work...
D ts1 s Z
D ts2 s Z
D diff s 10i 0
/free
ts1 = %timestamp( %editc(date1:'X')
+ %editc(time1:'X')
+ '000000'
: *ISO0 );
ts2 = %timestamp( %editc(date2:'X')
+ %editc(time2:'X')
+ '000000'
: *ISO0 );
diff = %diff(ts1: ts2: *seconds);
