Re: Local time in C on z/OS

[Joe Monk]

Code is right here ....

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.bpxbd00/localt.htm

/* CELEBL07

   This example queries the system clock and displays the local time.

 */
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
   struct tm *newtime;
   time_t ltime;

   time(&ltime);
   newtime = localtime(&ltime);
   printf("The date and time is %s", asctime(newtime));
}
