Thanks for your magic comment. I finally found it by using mega-microsecond as a search argument. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247280.pdf which discuss STCK and STCKE which leads to me to Principles of Operation, where I see this ( repugnant? ;-D ) note too: "Bit position 31 of the clock is incremented every 1.048576 seconds; for some applications, reference to the leftmost 32 bits of the clock may provide sufficient resolution." Hmmm, now I remember properly. Thanks Paul for your kind reply, much appreciated! ;-D Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
