<h1 class="topictitle1">TIME (Time) keyword in printer files</h1>
<div><p>This field-level keyword prints the current system time as a constant
field 6 bytes long.</p>
<div class="section"><p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />You can specify the location of the field, or name
the field with the special name *NONE if the POSITION (Position) keyword is
used in the record to specify the location of the fields. Also, you can specify
the TIME keyword, and optionally, you can specify the EDTCDE, EDTWRD, COLOR,
HIGHLIGHT, CHRSIZ, FONT, UNDERLINE, or TEXT keyword. Positions 17 through
38 must be blank.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
<p>This keyword has no parameters.</p>
<p>The edit word
'0_:__:__' (_ represents a blank) is assumed for a TIME field. You
can specify another edit word or one of the user-defined edit codes (5 through
9) to change the IBM-supplied editing.</p>
<p>Option indicators are not valid
for this keyword, although you can use option indicators to condition the
field specified.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example</h4><p>The following example shows how to specify
the TIME keyword.</p>
<pre>|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
00010A 20 1 56TIME
00020A 21 1 56TIME
A EDTWRD('0 &HRS&; &MINS&; &SECS')
A</pre>
<p>If the system time is 110645, the time prints as follows:</p>
<ul><li>If option indicator 20 is on, the time prints as <pre>11:06:45</pre>
</li>
<li>If option indicator 21 is on (and option indicator 20 is off), the time
prints as <pre>11 HRS 06 MINS 45 SECS</pre>
</li>
</ul>
