Re: Raw unformatted Timestamp in Rtv Journal Entry

I agree about the CEE* stuff - lots of interesting things there, not just date/time - aren't there math functions there? Next time we want a cosine, it's the ticket!

CEEDATM is still probably not the right one - its input is a different base - number of seconds since 14 October 1582 (not including leap seconds - huh?). This unformatted timestamp is all different.

I see that the CEE* functions are found on the p and z - that's probably why they are kept apart, they are cross-platform. CEE means "Common Execution Environment", as I just found.

I typed DATE from habit. Have a look at CEEDATM - it's worth a gander. But after I posted that, I realized that a conversion from timestamp would still be necessary, kind of defeating the purpose. So no gain in this case. But I do really, really like that CEE* stuff, and believe those features may be overlooked frequently 'cuz the names don't start with Q and the "QUSEC" style feedback is not in their designs. Plus, it seems to be separate in the documentation from the other APIs somehow. Maybe it's just me.

I don't think CEEDATE will do the job - that works with Lillian dates,
or the number of days since some date in 1582 or so - I'm not Bruce V!!

this is a system timestamp, which is the number of clock ticks (maybe)
since 1 Jan 1970, I believe.

Here is the number

UNFORMATTED_TIMESTAMP = 10611840837506760704

I think this would be 09/28/10 09:34:00 if properly converted.

This is a 20U 0 number not a time or a timestamp field. It comes

from

the Retrieve Journal Entry API and I need to convert it to a human
readable format.

Thanks,
