QSRLSAVF API problem

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Loyd,

X'7EDB8D3E80B60000' represents 05/13/1999 09:31:48.25.

The Save date and time is returned in the system time-stamp format,
and can be converted to other forms through system APIs such as
Convert Date and Time (QWCCVTDT) in the Miscellaneous chapter of the
System API Reference.  Use *DTS as the input format, and (in my example)
*MDYY as the desired output format.
