Time constant

Here's a fun one.  I cannot figure out how to define a time constant in free-form RPG in RDi.  I'm at version 9.6.0.1:

Literally, this three-line program will not verify:

       ctl-opt actgrp(*new) option(*srcstmt:*nodebugio);
       dcl-c C_SHUTDOWNTIME t'23.50.00';
       return;

No matter what I try, I get RNF0306E saying the format is not valid.  I tried adding TIMFMT(*ISO) to the ctl-opt specification (didn't change the error) and to the dcl-c (keyword not allowed).

I save the member and it compiles correctly, but this specification won't pass muster.

Anybody else?
