Re: How do I retrieve today's date in CL?

I don't have a DATETIME parm on that command either.  But, I am at V4R5.

If you have TAATOOLS, you can use the the RTVDAT command.

Hmmm... I just tried the folowing program and it worked just fine for me. 
Can you elaborate?

PGM
     DCL VAR(&FIELD20A) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20)
     RTVJOBA DATETIME(&FIELD20A)
     SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9897) MSGF(QCPFMSG) MSGTYPE(*COMP) +
               MSGDTA('DATE AND TIME IS ' *CAT &FIELD20A)
ENDPGM
