In 7.3 it is possible to specify the number of fractional seconds, as IBM calls it, in a TIMESTAMP data type in RPG. It can go out to 12 decimal positions. Default is 6.

I'm not on 7.3 yet, so I haven't tested it. But this down to picoseconds.


But be aware that RPG's %TIMESTAMP and INZ(*SYS) still only set the timestamp to millisecond accuracy as they always have. With the default of 6 fractional seconds, you get '000' at the end of a timestamp set by RPG. With 12 fractional seconds, you get '000000000' at the end.

There's an RFE for RPG to give microsecond accuracy.
