FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE provides a 21-character alphanumeric value with year, month, day, hour, minute, seconds, hundredths of a second, GMT offset sign, GMT offset hours and GMT offset minutes.
This could easily be found in the manual -- why are you not checking there first? |

Hi,
Thanks for you response. I knew that function already.
The UTC TS am looking for look like this
<timestamp>2018-01-10T15:00:05.216-06:00</timestamp> |

Are you SURE you belong on this forum for experts? The difference between the COBOL FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE and what you show in your post are minor format changes and hence well within a competent programmer's wheelhouse. The only real difference is that you would miss the thousandths of a second by using the COBOL function.
Perhaps you should start using Beginners and Students Forum instead of this one since it seems more on your level? |

and yet you did not ask about this -- you asked about getting UTC time in COBOL. Your question was answered; it is not our fault if you did not clearly explain your requirement nor is it our fault if you failed to ask the right question. Note that fractions of a second are NOT required to be part of a timestamp so missing the thousandths of a second still means the COBOL FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE returns a valid timestamp.
