I need to "compress" 16-byte STCKE format TOD into a 12 byte field without
losing the sysplex-wide uniqueness.
So, I thought I'd keep the first 10 bytes and the last 2 bytes [Programmable
Field].
To my surprise STCKE returns non-zeroes in the bytes #13 and #14 -
????
00C3CD5B F16F38C5 A8000000 01040002
Could someone explain what are these 2 bytes for?
Also, how save is the assumption that the field can be compressed into 12
byte without losing its sysplex-wide uniqueness.
TIA,
-Victor-
