Are you talking about in SQL?

SELECT Timestamp(
Char(aDateField,Iso) || ' ' ||
Char(aTimeField)) ||
'.000000')
From YourFile

Sure...

Many ways to go about it. One approach (that involves RPG) might be:

1> create your new file, which replaces the date and time fields with a
single timestamp field.
2> write an rpg program to read from the original file, then

eval myTimeStamp = oldDate + oldTime;

before you write the new record format....

Not sure if this is correct forum for this but.



I have a file with a date field and a time field. I would like to
combine those fields into a date/time field. Is this possible?
