Re: Raw unformatted Timestamp in Rtv Journal Entry

Thanks to all who helped with this problem, especially to Crispin Bates
who provided a link that I used.

It worked the first time. Surprise! Surprise!

Here is my code sample for future reference:

*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----
d convert_machine_timestamp...

d pr extpgm('QWCCVTDT')

d input_format 10a

d machine_timestamp...

d 20u 0

d output_format 10a

d output_variable...

d 20a

d

d error like(api_error)


*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
---
D unformatted_timestamp...
D 20u 0
d input_format s 10a inz('*DTS')
d output_format...
d s 10a inz('*YYMD')
d journal_timestamp...
d s 20a inz(*blank)
d stamptime s 26a
/free
convert_machine_timestamp(Input_format
:unformatted_timestamp
:output_format
:journal_timestamp
:api_error);
if api_error.bytes_available> *zero;
stamptime = %char(%timestamp());
else;
stamptime = %subst(journal_timestamp:1:4) + '-'
+ %subst(journal_timestamp:5:2) + '-'
+ %subst(journal_timestamp:7:2) + '-'
+ %subst(journal_timestamp:9:2) + '.'
+ %subst(journal_timestamp:11:2) + '.'
+ %subst(journal_timestamp:13:2) + '.'
+ %subst(journal_timestamp:15:4);
endif;
