Couldn't you do something like seconds = %seconds(CURRENTDATE - 1970DATE)

Would anybody happen to know how to get the current system time as the
"number of seconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT"? Other than by
adjusting a current timestamp to GMT, constructing one for January 1,
1970 00:00:00, and doing an RPG SUBDUR? Or is that actually the easiest way?
