Re: Raw unformatted Timestamp in Rtv Journal Entry

[Dennis <iseries@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I typed DATE from habit.  Have a look at CEEDATM - it's worth a gander.  But after I posted that, I realized that a conversion from timestamp would still be necessary, kind of defeating the purpose.  So no gain in this case.  But I do really, really like that CEE* stuff, and believe those features may be overlooked frequently 'cuz the names don't start with Q and the "QUSEC" style feedback is not in their designs.  Plus, it seems to be separate in the documentation from the other APIs somehow.  Maybe it's just me.
