Thanks everyone. I also thought that shifting 12 bits to the right was required, but it isn't.
I used the 8 byte output from "TIME MIC" as input to "STCKCONV ... TIMETYPE=BIN". The output is a "TIME BIN" doubleword with the 2nd word (date) zeros. Paul was correct ... time of day since midnight where? or when ... last week? For my test case I issued "TIME BIN" and saved TODAYs date as the 2nd word.... "TIME BIN" creates 00682B6E0117293F which converts to 18:57:48.62 2017/293 "TIME MIC" creates 0000FE94478AEBC0 which STCKCONV changes to 0068469000000000 / 006846900117293F after today's date inserted. This is identical to the "TIME BIN" output and generates the same character time value. Now the big question ... how useful is "TIME MIC" ? :-) DanD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
