Yeah John, "standard" SMF timestamps are in local time. Sigh. I have documented TWENTY-FIVE (really!) different date, time or date-and-time formats used in SMF records, although to be fair, perhaps a quarter or so of those are for non-IBM SMF records.

Most times are recorded as 'TIME SINCE MIDNIGHT IN HUNDREDTHS OF A SECOND'. I have never seen a field in a SMF record for UTC offset. Note: The new extended SMF record header does include the time in STCKE format, but I haven't seen any records that use the new header. Some records do use some form of STCK for internal fields, SMF 33, 41, 70, 71, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 88, 89, 90, 92, 98, 99, 104 and 113. These are the exceptions, and not all of them are time of day, some are elapsed time expressed in STCK format. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
