Re: 5250 and un-do

Barbara,

you are of course right and therefore some of us has been packed the QC2LE
time and system API's into a general procedure to
make a more precise timestamp with all the 6 decimals.

In 7.3 it is possible to specify the number of fractional seconds, as IBM

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.
