Re: Timestamps

Do these SQL approaches deal with the UTCV offset?

And SQL has another tool to offer - JSON_TABLE can handle ISO-8601 timestamps … not complete, but ..

select tstamp
from json_table( '{"ts":"2022-07-22T12:34:56.0+00:00"}‘,
'$' columns (tstamp timestamp path '$.ts'));

But sadly, JSON_TABLE doesn’t implement ISO-8601 completely - so you would have to append „.microseconds“ and replace „Z“ with „+00:00“ … and of course you have to wrap your timestamp up in some sort of JSON structure like in the example above.

AFAIK there is no direct conversion (neither in RPG nor in SQL) for this
format.
In pure RPG you have to deal with %XLATE and/or %SCANRPL to convert it into
a valid character representation of the timestam and then convert the
result.
With SQL it is a little easier, but you still have to remove T and Z:
Exec SQL SET :YourTimestamp = Timestamp(Translate('2022-07-21T20:14:36Z', '
', 'TZ'));

Subject: Timestamps

Is there a slick way to compare the current UTC time with a character
"timestamp" value like this?
'2022-07-21T20:14:36Z'

This is for the token expiration for AWS. The timestamp formats for the
various services are different.

I was hoping not to have to do it manually by %SUBST or %SCANRPL (replacing
T and colons with period and removing the Z).

TIA
Greg
