The
defaultTimeStampFormat build descriptor
option controls the initial runtime value of the
strLib.defaultTimeStampFormat system
variable, which contains one of the masks that can be used to create
the string returned by the
strLib.formatTimeStamp system
function. Additional details depend on the target language:
- When you are generating a COBOL program, if you do not specify
the defaultTimeStampFormat build descriptor
option, the default value for the strLib.defaultTimeStampFormat system
variable is "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss:SSSSSS".
- When you are generating Java™ code,
the defaultTimeStampFormat build descriptor
option specifies the generated value for the vgj.default.timestampFormat Java runtime property (if you have
set the genProperties build descriptor option
to GLOBAL or PROGRAM). That property then sets the initial runtime
value of the strLib.defaultTimeStampFormat system
variable.
- When you are generating JavaScript™ code,
the default value of the defaultTimeStampFormat build
descriptor option is an empty string.
