ibm midrange - DDS TIMFMT. Is it possible to get hh:mm? -


i have time input field in display record, , want in format hh:mm. available formats either have seconds or am/pm afterwards. following do, doesn't work since format doesn't exist.

a            srttime         t  b  5 43timsep(':') timfmt(*hm) 

is there easy way accomplish want without changing field simple character field? i'm running on v7.1.

i suggest using 4 digit numeric field edtwrd. might consider edtcde(y) datsep(':'). or take @ "user-defined" edit codes on system, named qedit5 - qedit9, dspedtd or wrkedtd command. or consider other keyboard shift codes in column 31.

....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8             tm1            4s 0b      3  4edtwrd('0 :  ')                                           edtmsk('  &  ')             tm2            4s 0b      4  4edtcde(y)                                            datsep(':')
