Re: MAPVAL For Time

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What happens if you define the field as a time field?  ( T = Time)?  
Does the following work for output, too?

   Example

The following example shows how to specify the TIMFMT keyword.

|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
00010A
00020A          R RECORD
00030A            TIMFLD1         T  B  5  2TIMFMT(*ISO)
00040A            TIMFLD2         T  B  5 22TIMFMT(*USA)
00050A            TIMFLD3         T  B  5 42TIMFMT(*HMS) TIMSEP(',')
    A

If you want to display 2 o'clock p.m., the following values are 
displayed where RECORD1 appears.

TIMFLD1    14.00.00
TIMFLD2    02:00 PM
TIMFLD3    14,00,00
