I am working on a new project and the first lot of test data i have
received includes date stamps in the format

"licence_expiry": "2020-01-01T07:53:00+00:00",

After a quick browse of the ILE RPG Reference I am not seeing any format

of the date data type that matches this format.

Am I just not looking hard enough or how would this be best processed in

ILE RPG ?

As this data will be going into an existing database the dates and times

are stored as numeric fields.

So I am really just wanting to retrieve the date and time values but I

am

not understanding the last +00:00 ? Is this time zone or time offset
related ?

Thanks for any assistance
