<h1 class="topictitle1">DATE (Date) keyword in printer files</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Use this field-level keyword to display the current date or the
|
||
|
|
current system date as a constant field 6 or 8 bytes long.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />You can specify the DATE keyword and the location of the
|
||
|
|
field. Also, you can name the field with the special name *NONE, if the POSITION
|
||
|
|
keyword is used in the record to specify the location of the fields. Optionally,
|
||
|
|
you can specify the CDEFNT, CHRSIZ, COLOR, EDTCDE, EDTWRD, FNTCHRSET, FONT,
|
||
|
|
HIGHLIGHT, UNDERLINE, or TEXT keyword.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If the POSITION keyword is used, you must specify the name
|
||
|
|
*NONE (positions 19 through 29). If POSITION keyword is not used, positions
|
||
|
|
17 through 38 must be blank.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The format of the keyword is: <pre>DATE([*JOB | *SYS] [*Y|*YY])</pre>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>The *JOB value causes the current job date to be printed. If you do not
|
||
|
|
specify a parameter, *JOB is used. The *SYS parameter causes the current system
|
||
|
|
date to be printed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you specify *Y, 2 digits represent the year in the date format that
|
||
|
|
the DATFMT job attribute designates. If you specify *YY, 4 digits represent
|
||
|
|
the year in the date format that the DATFMT job attribute designates. If you
|
||
|
|
do not specify a parameter, *Y is specified by default.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The W edit code on the EDTCDE keyword returns a correctly formatted date
|
||
|
|
only if a four digit year (*YY) is requested, and the job attribute DATFMT
|
||
|
|
is YMD.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">If you specify EDTCDE(Y) for a DATE field, separators are added according
|
||
|
|
the date format of the DATFMT job attribute. For example, using EDTCDE(Y)
|
||
|
|
when the DATFMT job attribute specifies *MDY changes the date from <pre>mmddyy</pre>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">to <pre>mm/dd/yy</pre>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>The slashes (/) represent the job attribute DATSEP at run time and the
|
||
|
|
job attribute DATFMT determines the order of the month, day, and year. (DATFMT
|
||
|
|
can be *SYSVAL, indicating that your program is to retrieve the date from
|
||
|
|
the system value QDATFMT, or MDY, DMY, YMD, or JUL, where M=month, D=day,
|
||
|
|
Y=year, and JUL=Julian.)</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Field length depends on the following factors:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li>The format of the DATFMT job attribute.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Whether the date field includes separators. The EDTCDE keyword controls
|
||
|
|
separators.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The number of digits that represent the year. The DATE keyword controls
|
||
|
|
the number of year digits.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the DATFMT specified for the job is *JUL (Julian), you cannot use the
|
||
|
|
EDTWRD keyword to edit the result.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Option indicators are not valid for this keyword. However, option indicators
|
||
|
|
can be used to condition the field associated with this keyword.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example</h4><p>The following example shows how to specify
|
||
|
|
the DATE keyword.</p>
