The TOD clock is just a counter; what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. There is a convention in PoOps, but if you want the correct time and date it is much easier to use system services than to do the adjustments yourself.
MVS does not use the same epoch as Eunix. Unix System Services will adjust the epoch properly. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I took the value (8 bytes) and converted it to decimal 10 characters. I expect it to be the same as the EPOCH time returned by USS time call. However the returned value is July 29, 2019 (have a time from yesterday). I know there is a macro to do it, but I want to keep the correct epoch time.
