This: 
-TYPE &DATEMDYY &TOD
gives you this:
01/15/2010 11.44.09

You can parse &TOD to add the am or the pm.

You may also try:

-SET &CURRDTTM = HCNVRT(HGETC(10, 'HYYMDSA'), '(HMDYYSA)', 25, 'A25');
-TYPE &CURRDTTM


Which will give you:

01/15/2010 12:48:07PM

One step beyond that, add the following to get
01/19/2010  8:48am

-SET &CURRDTTM = EDIT(&CURRDTTM,'9999999999999999$$$99') ;
-SET &CURRDTTM = LOCASE(18,'&CURRDTTM.EVAL',&CURRDTTM) ;
I showed this in two steps (EDIT and LOCASE) for simplicity. Combine them as desired...

With a small modification, you will get the same effect on a single line of code by changing the code to read:

quote:
-SET &CURRDTTM = HCNVRT(HGETC(10, 'HYYMD'), '(HMDYYIa)', 25, 'A25');
-TYPE &CURRDTTM


displays as:

01/20/2010 8:20am

And for fancier kicks, another small change
quote:
-SET &CURRDTTM = HCNVRT(HGETC(10, 'HYYMD'), '(HMTDYYIa)', 25, 'A25');
-TYPE &CURRDTTM


will get you:

January 20 2010 8:24am

You're kidding right? The output from Dav's suggestion is a single alphanumeric (A25) variable it should be quite easy to work out how to split it into two variables from one.
