Local time in microseconds!? Get real! Haven't the designers come
to appreciate the folly of storing timestamps in local time with an
annual Daylight Saving Time ambiguity during 3,600,000,000
microseconds? That's a lot of microseconds.
Is it truly in hexadecimal display as the type 'X' would seem to imply?
Can't be. 6 isn't enough:
gil@MVS:128$ rexx "numeric digits 20; X = d2x( 24*60*60*1000000 ); say
length( X ) X"
10 141DD76000
Would FL6 make more sense notionally? (But is FL6 even legal?)
