X 1.1.3.14 WHEN-COMPILED




X The WHEN-COMPILED special register contains the date at the start of the
X compilation. WHEN-COMPILED is an alphanumeric data item with the implicit
X definition:


 X   01    WHEN-COMPILED GLOBAL PICTURE X(16) USAGE DISPLAY


X The WHEN-COMPILED special register has the format:


 X   MM/DD/YYhh.mm.ss (MONTH/DAY/YEARhour.minute.second)


X For example, if compilation began at 2:04 PM on 27 April 1995,
X WHEN-COMPILED would contain the value 04/27/9514.04.00.


X WHEN-COMPILED can only be used as the sending field in a MOVE statement.


X WHEN-COMPILED special register data cannot be reference-modified.


X When used in nested programs, this special register is implicitly defined
X in the outermost program.


X Note: The compilation date and time is also accessible via the date/time
X intrinsic function WHEN-COMPILED (See "WHEN-COMPILED" in topic 7.1.48).
X That function supports 4-digit year values, and provides additional
X information.
