Suggestions anyone?
Hah! I thought of something else right after I pressed send on the last
message. If what you want is the time from the software clock, here is
some C code that will do that (posting C since that's what I have and
since you are using gettimeofday() you must know how to use C code in RPG):
time_t curtime;
struct tm *curdate;
curtime = time (NULL);
curdate = localtime (&curtime);
The nice thing about this is that you can use the elements of struct tm
to get nice values such as year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds, etc.
One interesting thing to note about the above code is that time() will
increment predictably even over a daylight savings change. That is
because time() returns the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 - not
the actual time of day (i.e. 4:00 p.m. on Oct. 29, 2003). localtime()
translates the number of seconds to a representation of the date and
time. Therefore the representation can go back and forward an hour but
the actual time continues uninterrupted.
Also note that the time() function has been obsoleted by gettimeofday()
in BSD 4.3. But it still works on all my systems.
