Subject: TimeStamp Resolution

 

Have a problem with TimeStamp resolution. Have a conversion program that is
using an Audit File to record events of the processing. The DDS for this
file defines it as a unique keyed file with a TimeStamp type field as the
unique key value. The conversion program extracts the current TimeStamp
value using op code TIME. As you all know this returns a TimeStamp value
with seconds down to only three places while the format allows for six. The
processing in this program can generate audit records at a rate which faster
then the resolution of the TIME timestamp and resulted in "Duplicate Record"
messages. A work around using a save timestamp value last used and a check
to see if the current timestamp gets around the problem.

 

My question - is there a method by which I can extract the timestamp value
to its full definition value?
