Re: Last IPL date and time - or how to read QWCCRTEC

David,

On the report from CALL PGM(QSYS/QWCCRTEC), hex is not garbage.  Ok, ok,
most of it is :)

The useful stuff is in column 90 (on my V5R3 machine) as it is the
status codes and the date/time they displayed, as Joel mentioned in his
earlier post.

Heh, I didn't even know about the lines you mentioned.  I always take
the first and last lines and call it a day.  I know it is not the "true"
IPL time for completion and users getting back online, but at least it
is a consistent measuring point when comparing IPLs.

*XPF PWRDWN     06/18/06 02:15:32* and *    20 FF 0220 06/18/06
02:35:06* make for IPL time of 19 minutes and 34 seconds on one of our
520s

http://www.google.com/search?q=QWCCRTEC+site:ibm.com has some decent,
including a sample program to put the IPL time into a data area from an
IBM redbook..

Brian.
