As these things go, I have found new uses for my little routine. It's strong enough to find the elapsed time for larger numbers than I intended. So much so, I thought I'd add a function to show the elapsed time since the beginning of my started task. The time is working wonderfully but when I cross the more than a day boundary I'd like to display the number of days since the start of the program.
I wound up using the STCK-STCK difference in times since the start of the started task + 1972/01/01 add in base STCK time to get a STCK value again STCKCONV convert that to DATE=YYYYMMDD TIME=DEC ED make it character based sequence so I have 1972/01/03 23:15:06.238744 What I'd like is 2 days 23:15:06.238744 I can calculate the date difference by hand (in C based off of the character representation of the date) of course. Unless someone knows of a nifty method to get the elapsed number of days from the data that I have?
