<h1 class="topictitle1">Date, time, and timestamp fields used by the INCREL parameter</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>The INCREL parameter allows date, time, and timestamp fields. The
|
||
|
|
copy command compares the input field value chronologically to the value in
|
||
|
|
the date, time, or timestamp field to determine if it should select the record.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The system attempts to convert the input string and the actual field value
|
||
|
|
to an internal form that is chronologically compared. These rules apply to
|
||
|
|
the conversion: <ul><li><strong>If the from-field is a date field,</strong> the system determines if the
|
||
|
|
user-input field value is in the same format and has the same separator as
|
||
|
|
specified in the current job under which the copy command is running. The
|
||
|
|
format can be *MDY, *DMY, *YMD, or *JUL and can use a slash (/), hyphen (-),
|
||
|
|
period (.), comma (,), or blank ( ) for the separator. If the user-input field
|
||
|
|
value does not use the same format or separator form of the current job, the
|
||
|
|
system determines if it is one of the SAA<sup>®</sup> formats (*ISO, *USA, *EUR, OR *JIS)
|
||
|
|
or if it is a YYYYDDD form with no separators. If the system determines that
|
||
|
|
the user-input field value is one of these forms, it converts the input string
|
||
|
|
to an internal form. The from-field is then converted to its internal form,
|
||
|
|
and the comparison is made. If the user-input string format cannot be determined,
|
||
|
|
or the length or data value is not valid, a diagnostic message is issued and
|
||
|
|
the copy operation ends. You must left-justify the date portion of the user-input
|
||
|
|
field value; it can contain trailing blanks.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>If the from-field is a time field,</strong> the system determines if the
|
||
|
|
user-input field value is in the same format and has the same separator as
|
||
|
|
specified in the current job under which the copy command is running. The
|
||
|
|
format can be HHMMSS and have a colon (:), comma (,), period (.), or blank
|
||
|
|
( ) for the separator. If the user-input field value is not in the specified
|
||
|
|
format and separator form of the current job, the system determines if it
|
||
|
|
is in one of the SAA formats (*ISO, *USA, *EUR, or *JIS). If the system
|
||
|
|
determines that the user-input key value is in one of these forms, it converts
|
||
|
|
the input string to an internal form. The from-field is then converted to
|
||
|
|
its internal form, and the chronological comparison is made. If the user-input
|
||
|
|
string format cannot be determined or the length or data value is not valid,
|
||
|
|
a diagnostic message is issued and the copy operation ends. You must left-justify
|
||
|
|
the time portion of the user-input field value; it can contain trailing blanks.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>If the from-field is a timestamp field,</strong> the system first determines
|
||
|
|
if the user-input field value is in the SAA format or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS form (no separators).
|
||
|
|
If the system determines that the user-input field value is in one of these
|
||
|
|
forms, it converts the input string to an internal form. The from-field is
|
||
|
|
then converted to its internal form and the chronological comparison is made.
|
||
|
|
If the user input string format cannot be determined, or the length or data
|
||
|
|
value is not valid, a diagnostic message is issued and the copy operation
|
||
|
|
ends. You must left-justify the timestamp portion of the user-input field
|
||
|
|
value; it can contain trailing blanks.</li>
