If you need all 12 digits, you can use the SQL Timestamp, you can get

digits:

Exec SQL Set :YourTimestamp = Current_Timestamp(12);

Current_Timestamp(12) is similar to %TIMESTAMP(*UNIQUE) in that the returned timestamp has only microsecond precision. The last 6 digits are "uniqueness" digits; they don't add any extra accuracy to the timestamp.
