We dont know your 'project terms'. How do you expect others to help? Speak with your peers.

VS COBOL supports TIME-OF-DAY special register which Enterprise COBOL does not support. It is not project specific term.
And there is no TIME function as Murali says.
FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE will give the time also.
| Code: |
For VS COBOL
MOVE TIME-OF-DAY to x(06)variable
For Enterprise cobol
MOVE FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE(9:6) to variable. |
Format is HH:MM:SS, this should help you. Please let me know if you need anything else. |

Thanks for your comments but the problem is the TIME-OF-DAY should be 8 byte comp field, which must have micro seconds with no. of days hours, minutes and seconds.
Can you please enlighten on this. Thanks. |
