Hi Dave,
Maybe I'm missing something, but it sounds as if all you need is a
startup program that saves the date when the user signs on (saving
in a data area, or data file, or wherever you want -- QTEMP or elsewhere).
The procedure for starting your utility would then retrieve this value and
pass it to the utlity.
