But I have to add a warning to it,... without the Omissible Feedback Parameter (*Nopass) defined in the prototypes, and a couple of changes to PR field definitions, (10U 0 -> 10I 0), other defined fields in the program/memory became corrupted, or at least they did for me, (imagine me reading a manual). Thus resulting in the following code: ** Get local time API d CEELOCT PR opdesc d output_lil Like(discard1) d output_secs Like(cur_time) d output_greg Like(discard2) d output_fc Like(Fc) Options(*Nopass) ** Convert to arbitrary timestamp API d CEEDATM PR opdesc d input_secs Like(cur_time) d picture_str Like(Pictureds) const d output_ts Like(Pictureds) d output_fc Like(Fc) Options(*Nopass) * Get offset from UTC API d CEEUTCO PR d hours Like(hrs2utc) d minutes Like(mins2utc) d seconds Like(cur_time) d output_fc Like(Fc) Options(*Nopass) d discard1 S 10I 0 d cur_time S 8F d discard2 S 23A d hrs2utc s 10I 0 d mins2utc s Like(hrs2utc) d hh s 2A d mm s 2A d discard3 s Like(cur_time) d WDate s Like(Pictureds) d Fc ds d sev 5U 0 d msgno 5U 0 d flags 1A d facid 3A d isi 10U 0 d Pictureds ds d Piclen1 1 2I 0 d Picture 3 34A d Piclen2 1 4I 0 d Picture2 5 36A * Get current local time from clock: c Callp CEELOCT(discard1 : cur_time : discard2) * Convert to e-mail format: c Callp CEEDATM(cur_time : c 'Www, DD Mmm YYYY HH:MI:SS' : c WDate) * Retrieve offset from UTC c Callp CEEUTCO(hrs2utc : mins2utc : discard3) * Format the UTC offset nicely * and tack it onto the string... c If hrs2utc < *Zero c Eval WDate = %trimr(WDate) + ' -' c Eval hrs2utc = 0 - hrs2utc c Else c Eval WDate = %trimr(WDate) + ' +' c EndIf c Move hrs2utc hh c Move mins2utc mm c Eval WDate = %TrimR(WDate) + hh + mm With these slight enhancements, I was able to avoid decimal data errors.

Specifically, it does not know how to format an offset from UTC (the "-0500" part) The API that does all of the formatting is the "CEEDATM" API which can be found in the "ILE CEE APIs" manual. Here's an example of what you're trying to do: ** Get local time API D CEELOCT PR opdesc D output_lil 10U 0 D output_secs 8F D output_greg 17A ** Convert to arbitrary timestamp API D CEEDATM PR opdesc D input_secs 8F D picture 32A const D output 32A * Get offset from UTC API D CEEUTCO PR D hours 10I 0 D minutes 10I 0 D seconds 8F D discard1 S 10U 0 D cur_time S 8F D discard2 S 17A D mail_date S 32A D hrs2utc s 10I 0 D mins2utc s 10I 0 D discard3 s 8F D hh s 2A D mm s 2A C* Get current local time from clock: c callp CEELOCT(discard1: cur_time: discard2) C* Convert to e-mail format: c callp CEEDATM(cur_time: c 'Www, DD Mmm YYYY HH:MI:SS': c mail_date) C* Retrieve offset from UTC c callp CEEUTCO(hrs2utc: mins2utc: discard3) C* Format the UTC offset nicely C* and tack it onto the string... c if hrs2utc < 0 c eval mail_date = %trimr(mail_date) + ' -' c eval hrs2utc = 0 - hrs2utc c else c eval mail_date = %trimr(mail_date) + ' +' c endif c move hrs2utc hh c move mins2utc mm c eval mail_date = %trimr(mail_date) + hh + mm C* Let's see if that worked :) c dsply mail_date c eval *inlr = *on _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@midrange.com Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
