    How do you extract just the Current System Time in Lawson Cobol?

    I'm wanting to extract it and format it in HH24MISS format.

    Thanks!

      I beleive the variable HHMMSS is populated when the Cobol program kicks off. If this is a long running program,

      PERFORM 515-UPDATE-DATE-TIME.

      This will update the variable HHMMSS to current time.

      MOVE HHMMSS TO <desired variable>
