Marvin - this is definitely what I know as the MI TOD value - and Joe is right about *DTS - that is system time-stamp, another name for the TOD.

If you use QWCCVTDT, to get date and time, you can use *YYMD as the output format - then you get the timestamp we are used to, maybe a bit short, and no separators. Check out the parameters for more details, such as precision to get milliseconds.

There are other APIs that can convert this, but this one is pretty easy.

I am attempting to use the Retrieve Journal Entry

having trouble finding the correct API that will convert the Unformatted
Time Stamp to a readable form.

The documentation say: The time stamp is in machine readable format and
can be used as input to a time conversion API, which will convert it to
a human readable format. I have searched the API for V5R4 but I have
found no API that even hints that it can convert this unformatted time
stamp to a human readable format.

Does anyone have any experience or code that will convert this 20U0
number to a human readable format?


Marvin, I think you need the QWCCVTDT API with the type *DTS.
