Hour/Minute Entry !

Hi all, Just a small question. In our application on Ifx 4GL, when we enter date field, we write it as "010199" the application will take it as "01/01/1999". DBDATE=DMY4 But in case of Hour/minute , if i enter "0000" for "00:00", it will not take it as that and give an error. But if i enter "11:" it will take it as "11:00" automatically. can this be done somehow and if yes then how and what variables are to be set ?
