WHEN-COMPILED 

The WHEN-COMPILED function returns the date and time the system compiled
your program and the difference between the local time when your program
was compiled and Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time.
To get the correct time differential, you need to set the environment
variable TZ to your local time zone before compiling programs that
contain this function.  The function type is alphanumeric.
