Of course, there's no real reason to calculate
(%diff(z'1970-01-01-00.00.00': z'2000-01-01-00.00.00'))* 1000

all the time, I'd have it done at compile time, but you get the idea....

Ok Joe,

Here's what I'd do.

results = (%diff(z'1970-01-01-00.00.00': z'2000-01-01-00.00.00'))* 1000
+ (%diff(z'2000-01-01-00.00.00': %timestamp()))*1000;

I'm trying to interoperate with Java timestamps. In the Java world,
that's the number of milliseconds since 01/01/1970. This is a web
service, and the service was defined using the Java timestamp format. I
can change the service signature to use something different, but I was
trying to avoid that.

Joe,

I'm missing something, why can't you just use the output from
%timestamp()?
