If you only need a unique reference id, then I would format your 12 byte field something like:
1. Region id (4 bytes - unique to each CICS) 2. Date-time (4 bytes - bits 0 - 31 of TOD, I'd use use STCKF) 3. Counter (4 bytes - local to each CICS, no need for remote access) |--STCKE--| |---TOD---| |-----------Step Value----------| Byte Bit Byte Bit Days Hours Mins Seconds 1 8 0 0 26062 11 56 53.685248 1 9 0 1 13031 5 58 26.842624 1 10 0 2 6515 14 59 13.421312 1 11 0 3 3257 19 29 36.710656 1 12 0 4 1628 21 44 48.355328 1 13 0 5 814 10 52 24.177664 1 14 0 6 407 5 26 12.088832 1 15 0 7 203 14 43 6.044416 2 16 1 8 101 19 21 33.022208 2 17 1 9 50 21 40 46.511104 2 18 1 10 25 10 50 23.255552 2 19 1 11 12 17 25 11.627776 2 20 1 12 6 8 42 35.813888 2 21 1 13 3 4 21 17.906944 2 22 1 14 1 14 10 38.953472 2 23 1 15 0 19 5 19.476736 3 24 2 16 0 9 32 39.738368 3 25 2 17 0 4 46 19.869184 3 26 2 18 0 2 23 9.934592 3 27 2 19 0 1 11 34.967296 3 28 2 20 0 0 35 47.483648 3 29 2 21 0 0 17 53.741824 3 30 2 22 0 0 8 56.870912 3 31 2 23 0 0 4 28.435456 4 32 3 24 0 0 2 14.217728 4 33 3 25 0 0 1 7.108864 4 34 3 26 0 0 0 33.554432 4 35 3 27 0 0 0 16.777216 4 36 3 28 0 0 0 8.388608 4 37 3 29 0 0 0 4.194304 4 38 3 30 0 0 0 2.097152 4 39 3 31 0 0 0 1.048576 Don Williams ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
