*Timestamp Data Type
Timestamp fields have a predetermined size and format. They can be defined on the definition specification and must be in the following format:
yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss.mmmmmm (length 26) // This is *ISO
Microseconds (.mmmmmm) are optional for Timestamp literals and if not provided will be padded on the right with zeros. Leading zeros are required for all timestamp data.
The following are the default, LOVAL** and **HIVAL values for *Timestamp data type.
- The default initialization value for a timestamp is midnight of January 1, 0001 (0001-01-01-00.00.00.000000).
- The *LOVAL value for timestamp is 0001-01-01-00.00.00.000000.
- The *HIVAL value for a timestamp is 9999-12-31-24.00.00.000000.
*ISO is the only valid type for a * Timestamp data type.
