Change order of timestamps

Greenpolarbear — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 01:40:16 +0000

I’m doing legal research on a case; If some files’s timestsmps were changed, could the files be put in chronological order with existing files on the harddrive? (so these new files would look older)

What’s your fastest /’Unique number’ issue method?

Yorkshireman — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 08:53:20 +0000

Once again I need to incorporate a mechanism which will issue a unique number as an object discriminator.

I’m sure we’ve all been there. – Incorporate a timestamp – quick and almost always unique, though this application will be busy, so the multiple ‘threading’ is attractive, Big problem is the length though, I only have 10 bytes.

Maybe pack the numbers into printable alpha numeric? use a radix of 36?

A record on a file (yawn) slow, need to Q for a lock, but a flexible way of doing it, and understandable by ‘users’

a data area – its a file really, but maybe quicker to operate? same locking issues

A User space? – are they going to be quicker than data areas?

So – anyone any ideas? I can manage the bit about making it unique across systems by adding a boxID prefix (Darn – another byte lost!)

While I’d like to go with timestamp. I’m thinking I’m forced to use a sequential ascending number, so any helpful info / discussion about access times would be good.

Thanks All

VBA to separate overlapping times

Jace — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 17:46:52 +0000

I am stuck trying to seperate overlapping times. The situation is that I have 5 devices requiring x amount of material at the differing durations. What I need to do is seperate the durations and add the demands together for the new duration, but there can be as many as 5 overlapping demands; here is an example of the times and demands

              Time             Demand

4:31:26 to 4:35:50           4

4:31:26 to 4:35:38          2

4:32:10 to 4:33:20           8

4:33:15 to 4:34:10           9

I need to create individual times and total demands for those times for thousands of lines of time stamps.

WHILE ASSIGNING A VALUE TO PROCESSED_TIME=:NEW.JMS_TIMESTAMP-:NEW.INS_TIME (All are timestamp type ) how to subtract that one.

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER SAUUSER.TRG_MSGES_STATISTICS AFTER UPDATE OR UPDATE ON SAUUSER.TSAU_PRE_MSGES REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS OLD FOR EACH ROW DECLARE BEGIN IF INSERTING THEN INSERT INTO TSAU_MSGES_STATISTICS(PORTCODE,MSG_ID,DOCTYPE,MSGTYPE,SUBMISSION_TIME) VALUES(:NEW.PORTCODE, :NEW.MSG_ID, :NEW.DOCTYPE, :NEW.MSGTYPE, :NEW.INS_TIME ); END IF; IF UPDATING THEN UPDATE TSAU_MSGES_STATISTICS SET MSG_STATUS =:NEW.PROC_STATUS, RESPONSE_TIME =:NEW.JMS_TIMESTAMP, PROCESSED_TIME = :NEW.JMS_TIMESTAMP – :NEW.INS_TIME WHERE MSG_ID =:NEW.MSG_ID; END IF; EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN dbms_output.put_line( ‘error in execute on TSAU_PRE_MSGES’ ); END;

AS400 RPG – last three digits of microseconds always zero!

Koohiisan — Fri, 15 May 2009 14:43:23 +0000

We noticed in a couple of programs where we were using timestamps that the rightmost three positions are consistently zero and never otherwise. I have tested this with even just a simple ILE RPG program that dsplys a %char(%timestamp()); and still only get zeros for the last three digits.

However…pulling a microsecond(current timestamp) in an interactive SQL session provides a value which has all six digits being used.

So, is this a limitation of RPG? Is there something else I am missing? Is anyone else using microseconds at all in RPG that can vouch for this ever using the last three digits?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Experts,

I would like to mentione here i was trying to test one package and found the package has a procedure named SET() which hav UPDATE on Report table and INSERT on A_R table in same transaction

Both the above mentioned tables hav a tim_upt column which s given as systimestamp

and strange it was the second insert reflects the correct timestamp whereas the UPDATE (Report table) s not reflecting the tim_upt

Though it is like this..

procedure set(tim_upt — parameter varaible)

BEGIN

UPDATE Report
set different attributes,
tim_upt = systimestamp
where
some condition;

Insert into A_R (……,tim_upt)values(….systimestamp);

Exception
when others then
raise_appl_err(………);
END;

It compiles without any error ,on run of test for that set of tables it is not throwing any exception and but the 1st table is not reflected with time of update …

pls guide me on this

Timestamps

Bigdog55 — Fri, 16 May 2008 19:47:41 +0000

I wish to:
1.) define a timestamp and initialize it to system date/time. What odes the D spec look like for this or can it not be done in the D spec?
2.)Load a data structure whihc is formatted to match timestamp defaults with data by field (CCYY MM DD…etc,).

I want to then 3.)

Move this data to another variable that is defined as a timestamp and do a SUBDUR using the two timestamp fields.

HELP!!!!
