Barbara,
<SNIP>
Using the TIME opcode in RPG/400 is error prone, because the format of
the date part depends on the job date format.  So you can't be sure that
you really have the date in the format you expect.

        Can I assume the same is true for RPG IV when using non-date fields
with TIME?


Thank you,
