I have a quest to read a file by Timestamp so I need to create a TS
variable.

I have a date parm coming in that is 8,0 which I convert to an *ISO

date

field.

How would I go about "attaching/creating" the default TIME segment

for

this

variable so that I can use it with SETLL.

We are currently on 7,2

Stuff like this has worked for me.


strvalue = %char(%date(jobdate:*ISO))
+ '-00.00.00.000000';
jobtimestamp = %timestamp(strvalue);

I think: strvalue = %timestamp(dateParm)) will work. It will assign
the date followed by zero hours min sec Msec

In my case I was converting from a non-date field and going for a
full timestamp.

Sincerely,
