command</h1>
<div><p>A date, time, or timestamp value can be compared either with another
value of the same data type or with a string representation of that data type. </p>
<p>All comparisons are chronological, which means the farther a time is from
January 1, 0001, the <em>greater</em> the value of that time. </p>
<p>Comparisons involving time values and string representations of time values
always include seconds. If the string representation omits seconds, zero seconds
are implied.</p>
<div class="p">Comparisons involving timestamp values are chronological without regard
to representations that might be considered equivalent. Thus, the following
predicate is true: <pre id="rbafodttc__rbafor3tmstp"><a name="rbafodttc__rbafor3tmstp"><!-- --></a></pre>
</div>
<p><strong>TIMESTAMP</strong> ('1990-02-23-00.00.00') &gt; '1990-02-22-24.00.00'</p>
<p>When a character, DBCS-open, or DBCS-either field or constant is represented
as a date, time, or timestamp, the following rules apply:</p>
<p><strong>Date</strong>:
The length of the field or literal must be at least 8 if the date format is
*ISO, *USA, *EUR, *JIS, *YMD, *MDY, or *DMY. If the date format is *JUL (yyddd),
the length of the variable must be at least 6 (includes the separator between
yy and ddd). The field or literal can be padded with blanks.</p>
<p><strong>Time</strong>:
For all of the time formats (*USA, *ISO, *EUR, *JIS, *HMS), the length of
the field or literal must be at least 4. The field or literal can be padded
with blanks.</p>
<p><strong>Timestamp</strong>:
For the timestamp format (yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss.uuuuuu), the length of the field
or literal must be at least 16. The field or literal can be padded with blanks.</p>
