Ah. Differences in STCK are trivial to handle (as opposed to converting one STCK value to civil time).
If you shift the 64-bit difference right by 12 bits (or divide by 4096, which is the same thing) you will get the difference in microseconds. Trust you can take it from there. BTW, if you know you are on recent hardware, use STCKF. (The F stands for "fast.")

I have captured the STCK before and after theprocedure. The procedures take very little time and I want to show theelapsed time to the end user. As two examples Start Time CF115F56BCCEB945 End Time CF115F57 1ED82BC3 difference 000000006209727E Start Time CF115F58 19228AC5 End Time CF115F582B2F8951 difference 00000000 120CFE8C I’d like to display this elapsed time in my job log as anice readable value but I am unsure how this difference in STCK should beformatted. Since it’s the difference between two STCK a STCKCONV doesn’tseem appropriate anymore. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
