z/Architecture Principles of Operation SA22-7832-07 Eighth Edition (February, 2009) ? The extended-TOD-clock facility includes (1)an extension of the TOD clock from 64 bits to 104 bits, allowing greater resolution; ... Granted it's extended on the right, not the left. More dismaying, STCKCONV ignores the top byte. While I don't begrudge IBM the flexibility of deferring definition of that byte's future use, until then STCKCONV should conscientiosly return an error indication for invalid TOD clock value. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
