Can you paste an example of the number here? And maybe the hexadecimal form? I'm wondering if it is the MI TOD format, which is an 8-byte value. Then we can give an API to convert it.

I am attempting to use the Retrieve Journal Entry
(QjoRetrieveJournalEntries) API. Everything is working fine but I am
having trouble finding the correct API that will convert the Unformatted
Time Stamp to a readable form.

The documentation say: The time stamp is in machine readable format and
can be used as input to a time conversion API, which will convert it to
a human readable format. I have searched the API for V5R4 but I have
found no API that even hints that it can convert this unformatted time
stamp to a human readable format.

Does anyone have any experience or code that will convert this 20U0
number to a human readable format?

Thanks,

Marvin
