Time constants or variables used in comparisons or assignments do not have to be in the same format or use the same separators. Also, times used for I/O operations such as input fields, output fields or key fields are also converted (if required) to the necessary format for the operation.
Time fields have a predetermined size and format.
The default format for time variables is *ISO. Leading and trailing zeros are required for all time data.
See the following topics for the *Time data type formats and *LOVAL, *HIVAL and default values.
