Re: How to get a date field and hivals for the time portion into atimestamp

I found a solution may not be the greatest but works.

d ds
D MyTimeStampField...
D z
d vdt d overlay(MyTimeStampField:1)
d vtm t overlay(MyTimeStampField:12)

MyTimestampField = %timestamp(MyDateField);
vtm = *hival;

Subject: How to get a date field and hivals for the time portion into atimestamp

I know when somebody answers this I'm going to go 'Geez' I should have
known that but right now I'm going around in circles on how to do this. I've
checked the archives and I haven't found anything but this is such an
obvious question so I'm more then likely not searching well enough.......

I have a timestamp field that I want to have updated with a date field and
hivals for the time portion of the timestamp.

Easy enough to get the date field in;

MyTimestampField = %timestamp(MyDateField);

The time portion of the datestamp field is set to lowval after this. So how
do I get Hivals into the timestamp without nuking the date?

Thanks
