  • Subject: Getting the Date & Time from a Timestamp

I have a case where I need to add a variable number of minutes to
a time and return the new time. Because this could go past midnight,
a Timestamp is a perfect solution. I can add a number of minutes to
it and it will handle the date and time for me. The challenge is to get
the date and time from it. It would be nice to do it either of the
following ways:

        C               *MDY            Move    timestamp                       
date            6 0
        C               *HMS            Move    timestamp                       
time            6 0

- or -

        C                                       Extrct  timestamp:*date date    
        6 0
        C                                       Extrct  timestamp:*time time    
        6 0

Neither of these methods work. Is there an easy way to extract the date
and time from a timestamp? I can't seem to find one.
