Resolve %%TIME variable without seconds...?

Dilbert · Post by **Dilbert** » 27 Oct 2008 1:22

Hello, ppl!

How I can pass %%TIME auto-edit variable withous seconds, only in HHmm format?

I need to pass current system date and time to unix command prompt and set date/time on unix machine. I successfully resolved variables for date (using $$DAY, %%MONTH, %%$YEAR), but i can't set variable for time, Unix required time in HHmm.ss format, CONTROL-M resolved %%TIME variable as hhmmss.

How I can solve that, how I can pass %%TIMEvariable in hhmm format? Any suggestions?

In set panel:

RESULT=%%SUBSTR %%TIME 1 4

and the %%RESULT variable is "HHMM" .

Thanks, already solved it with %%SUBSTR, after little reading documentation and experimenting.
