Hi all from the Cleanaway iSeries developer team
We had a job run for 2+ days which caused a problem with our date-stamps. Our routine uses *date, and we find in the V5R3 manual a new section added: "For an interactive or batch program, the user date special words are set to the value of the job date when the program starts running on the system. The value of the user date special words are not updated during the program execution even if the program runs over midnight or if the job is changed. Use the TIME operation code to obtain the time and date while the program is running"
Our question is, has this changed since V4Rx or have the values never been updated during execution, and the manual has had a better explanation added?
Thanks
