Actually, I'm going to need this to work back to z/OS 1.2 and maybe earlier. The goal is to calculate a doubleword retention-in-seconds (from the current moment) value for a special NAS device. For dates beyond 2042, I'm currently looking at a comparatively simple, rather linear way of factoring in the leap year adjustment that will get me very close to the target expiration date/time.
I'll write the code so it only does the above when CONVTOD returns an RC=20 (which is what I see now with years beyond 2042). That way, whenever CONVTOD begins to support the higher years, it'll use the STCKE-format-based calculation. Thanks to all for their responses. At 06:18 PM 9/12/2005, Edward E.
