Right, probably the slickest solution is to figure out how to set up LE and call mktime() or gmtime() and then strftime(). See the C library manual for details. People here can help you with setting up an LE environment and calling a C routine.

I'm a big fan of cheating. I often use LE enabled HLASM just so that I can use the subroutines from the C language to do "fancy" printing by using sprintf() calls. Of course, you could also cheat by converting the C epoch to a Lilian date (simple addition) and using the LE subroutine CEEDATE to convert it to printable form. But, then, the UNIX epoch is simply a number. The number of seconds since 00:00:00 GMT 1 Jan 1970. It would be rather easy to convert to yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss if it weren't for the "leap seconds". Which may or may not be of any interest to you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
