Caveat:  with daily digesting, I'm at least a day behind the discussion...

Actually, I believe that MXG is SMFxxDTE & SMFxxTME cognizant by virtue of 
using the underlying SAS 'inFormat's SMFDATETIME, SMFDATE, & SMFTIME.  I do my 
SMF reporting using SAS directly and, using SMFDATETIME, get SAS Date/DateTime 
variables [1] that can have the (out) 'Format's you desire.  

[1]  If I remember rightly, the SAS internal representations are #seconds or 
days from an arbitrary point ie.  Jan 01, 1970 (or 1900?).  That means, 
internally, the raw value can be negative for dates/times in previous 
(Gregorian) centuries, etc.

Of course, if you have the good Doctor Merrill's most excellent MXG software 
then it will do all of this for you and more in but a trice!

The SMFxxTME and SMFxxDTE fields are in my experience consistent 
representations of *local* time and date on the LPAR represented by the SMFID. 
No worries about leap seconds (unless you need to get back to some more basic 
time than local).
