Hi,

Anyone can tell me how to populate the 'current system time' in the Ims dc application program..

Do you want to display time in IMS DC online screen? or is it you want to capture time in IMS DC Cobol program?

In MFS you can code TIME to display TIME on screen.

In COBOL IMS DC program you can use any standard COBOL TIME function,

Also in COBOL IMS DC you can get the TIME from IO PCB Mask.

When program gets executed IO PCB is automatically populated with actual values.

If you want to us IO PCB Time, then you dont have to do anything other than using the field.

Use 'TIME' to get the system time.

eg:
CURTIME DFLD POS=(1,60),LTH=8,ATTR=(ALPHA,PROT,HI)

MFLD (CURTIME,TIME)

DONT USE LTH parameter in MFLD
