Re: How to process *UTC/*UTCD/*UTCT values in message data

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Cool - I have one I pass the *UTC thing to - for now just an exercise, 
since the timestamps I'm getting are in message data of a CPF1241 
message, and i'm getting it with an SQL service over the history log - 
cool stuff, these SQL services.

I hope someone can take advantage of your generosity and efforts!

Cheers
Vern
