IGZEDTE

IGZEDTE is the COBOL library routine called by compiled code to get the values for CURRENT-DATE, DATE, DAY, TIME and TIME-OF-DAY. IGZEDTE is used for both RES and NORES compiler options.

Hints

IGZEDTE is invoked each time the date is accepted from the system. If done repetitively, this can result in excessive CPU use.

Refer to the CPU attribution reports to determine which statement called this routine. To avoid such consumption of CPU, move the CURRENT-DATE, DATE, DAY, TIME, or TIME-OF-DAY values into working storage once, and move the working storage fields as needed.
