Re: Time Sync v5r3

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
as each gets upgraded to v5r3.
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?
