Re: MAPVAL For Time

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

Greetings from Sunny Florida.



With my RPG /Free program, I am attempting to use MAPVAL on a time field
which is output only. The IBM website does not describe its use with time,
only date. I've been using the date version for years. Now I have an
application which will generate the time throughout the day. I don't want
to see ` 5` but would rather see `0:00:05`. The compile error I get
on my screen indicates that the keyboard value on my time field is invalid.
I have tried:


6Y 0 O

6S 0 O

6 0 O


It was suggested that I could make the output field character and move an
%EDITW value into it, but I would rather keep the numeric times with
editing.


Do any of you know the secret to overcoming this error?


Thanks,
