TIMESTAMP-TIME Clause

TIMESTAMP-TIME
Clause
5–68
The TIMESTAMP-TIME clause extracts the time portion of a timestamp field that has
been created by the GUARDIAN procedure TIMESTAMP. The syntax of the
TIMESTAMP-TIME clause is:
TIMESTAMP-TIME ( field-name )
field-name
is the name of a field to which a time value is returned. The field must be
described in your data dictionary.
Your data dictionary must contain a definition of the field to which the TIMESTAMP-
TIME clause returns a time value. You must define the field as a six-character
alphanumeric field, such as:
05 TIME-STAMP
The value returned to this field is a quantity in one hundredths of a second in internal
time format. You can obtain this value in seconds by using the AS clause with an
integer edit descriptor or by using the AS TIME clause. If you need to obtain this value
in one hundredths of a second, you must write your own conversion routine.
Refer to the TIMESTAMP-DATE clause in this section for extracting the date portion of
a timestamp field.
