Example: Setting the Time Portion of a Timestamp to Midnight

This example converts the character string (20040229 13:34:00) to a timestamp, which is assigned to DTM:

DTM/HYYMDS = HINPUT(14, '20040229 13:34:00', 8, DTM);

This example resets the time portion of DTM to midnight and assigned the timestamp (02/29/2004 00:00:00) to DTMIDNT:

DTMIDNT/HMDYYS = HMIDNT(DTM, 8, DTMIDNT);
