Right, it's been too many years since I wrote my REXX exec to translate from 
TOD timestamp to 'normal' time. 1900 seems like it is correct.

It's a TOD timestamp obtained via STCK (actually via the TIME macro specifying 
STCK).

IP LTOD C6DB4E956693FE01
11/09/2010 20:31:36.823103 STCK   X'C6DB4E95 6693FE01'
11/09/2010 20:31:36.823103 UTC    X'C6DB4E95 6693FE01'
11/09/2010 15:31:36.823103 LOCAL  X'C6DB0B87 4353FE01'

I don't know what this has to do with milliseconds since 1/1/1970...
A zero TOD is 1/1/1900 and bit 51 is a microsecond.
