Look in the Language Environment manual, http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/CEEA3100/CCONTENTS watch out for the wrap!! CEECBLDY will convert various "character" representations of dates into "COBOL Integer Date" formats. CEEGMTO will tell you the difference between GMT and LOCAL time. CEESECS will convert date+time to a timestamp in "Lilian" seconds (since 00:00:00 14 Oct 1582) which you can then manipulate and convert back. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
