Date fields, time fields, and time stamp fields as source fields

• d

• t

• utclong

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Notes

• The conversion rules are designed so that operands of the types d and t display character-like behavior in character-like operand positions and numeric behavior in numeric operand positions.

• In the case of a substring access to an operand of the type d or t, the substring is handled like an operand of the type n and the relevant conversion rules apply.

• Operands of the type utclong can only be converted to the types c and string.

Example

Converting a target field with the value 144414 to different target types. The type-friendly formatted output is 53054, 144414, CF3E. The number 53054 is the number of seconds since midnight for the time 144414.

DATA time TYPE t VALUE '144414'. 

cl_demo_output=>display( 
  |i:       { CONV i( time ) }\n| && 
  |string:  { CONV string( time ) }\n| && 
  |xstring: { CONV xstring( time ) }\n| ).
