Thanks, I've just tested your suggestion: TT:TT:TT.TT -> 14:53:21.36 TT:TT:TT.TTTTTT -> 00:00:14.532136
It behaves like in the manual described: Format Code | Length | Description TC4 |8 bytes | TOD time interpreted as Z'hhmmssxx' and "The implied length of the edited output field is the same as the length of the pattern. The LENGTH parameter can be used to change the implied length of the edited output field." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
