I once wrote something that got me close. I used the gettimeofday() API. It
is valid in CL, as it expects pointers for the parameters. At any rate, it
returns the current time in a so-called timeval structure - you can look up
that in QSYSINC/H(TIME) member, IIRC - do a PDM search on QSYSINC/H if I'm
wrong. It contains separate 2-byte integers for the various time
components. String'm together and set QTIME. You will need to use %BIN in
there somewhere.

I have been setting up the new time sync (NTP) on my systems and partitions

Now I hit my oldest box a small 170. This hardware will not work with the
v5r3 time feature. It seems I can set the software clock BUT not the
hardware clock. I found an IBM Technote (#86256E0F00681558) entitled
"Synchronization of the IBM iSeries Hardware Clock (QTIME) with the Software
Clock That Exists on the Same System". This uses Management Central to
setup and run. I have had no luck getting the time correct and would rather
not use iSeries Access to run this.
Does anyone have a better method setting the hardware clock from the
software clock?
