Format 2 (System Information Transfer) ->->--ACCEPT identifier FROM--*--DATE---------*----><- *--DAY----------* *--TIME---------*
DATE has the implicit PICTURE 9(6).
The sequence of data elements (from left to right) is:
Thus 25 December 1991 is expressed as:
911225
The conceptual data items DATE, DAY, and TIME implicitly have USAGE DISPLAY. Since they are conceptual items, they cannot be described in the COBOL program.
DAY has the implicit PICTURE 9(5).
The sequence of data elements (from left to right) is:
Thus 25 December 1991 is expressed as:
91359
The conceptual data items DATE, DAY, and TIME implicitly have USAGE DISPLAY. Since they are conceptual items, they cannot be described in the COBOL program.
TIME has the implicit PICTURE 9(8).
The sequence of data elements (from left to right) is:
Thus 2:41 P.M. is expressed as:
14410000
The conceptual data items DATE, DAY, and TIME implicitly have USAGE DISPLAY. Since they are conceptual items, they cannot be described in the COBOL program.
