Do you mean the values of CVTLSO and CVTLDTO at the time of the call to STCKCONV, or at the time of the STCK(E)? The latter are not easily available to the programmer unless he stores all three values (being careful that the CVT values don't change between the STCK and the fetch from the CVT), and performs the offset himself.
