The
defaultTimeFormat build descriptor
option controls the initial runtime value of the
strLib.defaultTimeFormat system
variable, which contains one of the masks that can be used to create
the string returned by the
strLib.formatTime system
function. Other details depend on the target language:
- When you are generating a COBOL program, if you do not specify
the defaultTimeFormat build descriptor option,
the default value for the strLib.defaultTimeFormat system
variable is "HH:mm:ss".
- When you are generating Java™ code,
the defaultTimeFormat build descriptor option
specifies the generated value for the vgj.default.timeFormat 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.defaultTimeFormat system
variable.
- When you are generating JavaScript™ code,
the default value of defaultTimeFormat build
descriptor option is HH:mm:ss.
