|
|
<div><p>You need to handle the presentation of times on display files and
|
|
printer files differently, depending on the way they are stored.</p>
|
|
<ul><li>As a decimal data field <p>Your application program has responsibility
|
|
for the way the value is entered, stored, and presented. The program must
|
|
check for the correct format, eliminate the time separators, convert the time
|
|
to another format when necessary, and edit it on the display file or printer
|
|
file.</p>
|
|
<p>The editing can be done by specifying the edit word (EDTWRD) for
|
|
the field. The TIME keyword is an output-only field. Both the edit word and
|
|
TIME keyword use the information available at creation time. The time separators
|
|
are integrated in the device file object.</p>
|
|
<p>Both ways force you to have
|
|
different copies of the source and objects for different editing requirements.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>As an SAA<sup>®</sup> data
|
|
type TIME (T) field <p>The operating system allows you
|
|
to specify different time formats and time separators on the database file
|
|
level. The TIME keywords allow you to specify the format and editing characters
|
|
for storing time fields. The time type field is shown as a character string
|
|
that includes the separators.</p>
|
|
<p>As an SAA data type, you can specify such time
|
|
fields as normal character fields on the display file or printer file. On
|
|
an input operation, your program has to check entered values for the correct
|
|
format and separators and move them over to the database field. On an output
|
|
operation, you just move the character string from the database file field
|
|
to the device file field, including the separators. Any format conversion
|
|
between the input and output format and the format that the database asks
|
|
for can be done by either of the following two ways:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Application program routines</li>
|
|
<li>Field mapping through logical files that define different time format
|
|
and separators</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
