I can use the assembler TIME macro to create a time of day and date in various formats I can use the assembler STCKCONV macro to convert a TOD clock value to time of day and date. ( Zeller's Congruence. gives me the day.) It all comes from the TOD which represents microseconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1900 (the epoch)
However, Unix system services presents time in the format of 'time' and 'time_64'. This is the time in seconds since 00:00:00 (UTC), January 1, 1970 (a different epoch and measurement increment). (Tourist info -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_time ) My question is:- How do I create a human readable date / time value in an assembler program from the unix 'time' value. ? I started thinking about converting seconds to microseconds, removing the 70 years and then using STCKCONV, Then I thought about a whole bunch of divide instructions. Then I thought, someone must do this. There has to be an easier way. ___________________________________________________ Tony Dean National Australia Bank [EMAIL PROTECTED] No Statements Flagged in this Assembly ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
