Hi James,

I had to do something like this a month or 2 ago.

I converted EPOCH (January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT) to Lilian seconds once using CEEISEC, then got UTC in Lilian seconds using CEEUTC as needed, and then subtracted EPOCH Lilian seconds from UTC Lilian seconds.

Unsure as to whether this is the easiest or best. You could possibly find out EPOCH in Lilian seconds and hardcode this as a "magic number" for efficiency.

Regards,

Kevin Wright

Would anybody happen to know how to get the current system
time as the
"number of seconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT"? Other than by
adjusting a current timestamp to GMT, constructing one for January 1,
1970 00:00:00, and doing an RPG SUBDUR? Or is that actually
the easiest way?
