I don't recall which IBM manual I found these values in but they certainly make this type of calculation easier.* TOD Values CNOP 0,8 ONEDAY DC X'000141DD76000000' ONEHOUR DC X'00000D693A400000' ONEMINUTE DC X'0000003938700000' ONESECOND DC X'00000000F4240000' ONEMILISEC DC X'00000000003E8000' ONEMICROSEC DC X'0000000000001000' With the above, take ONESECOND and multiply by 90 and add to TOD. LG/ALG make 8 byte calculations so much easier ;-)
I still don't understand why anyone would opt for hard-coded values from a book and/or perform calculations at run time to determine constant values when the assembler will do it all for you. Example:
&SecsIn1Day SETA 24*60*60 &SecsIn1Hr SETA 60*60 &SecsIn1Min SETA 1*60 ONEDAY DC FDS12'&SecsIn1Day.E6' ONEHOUR DC FDS12'&SecsIn1Hr.E6' ONEMINUTE DC FDS12'&SecsIn1Min.E6' or just simply: NINTYSECS DC FDS12'90E6' etc... -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
