RE: ICONV/OCONV for unix internal timestamp (secs past 00:00 01/01/1970)
seconds past midnight GMT, Jan 1, 1970. Is there a conversion code yeah .. something like: pick DATE() = INT(unixtime/86400)+732 pick TIME() = MOD(unixtime,86400) which makes: unixtime = (pick DATE() - 732) * 86400 + pick TIME() and PICK time is always local time, not GMT -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Are you asking about the 'MTHS' conversion code? - Original Message - From: Stevenson, Charles [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 1:47 PM Subject: ICONV/OCONV for unix internal timestamp (secs past 00:00 01/01/1970) unix generally keeps track of time as number of seconds past midnight GMT, Jan 1, 1970. Is there a conversion code to convert that to from external date time? If not, have you already written a custom conversion care to share? (I am NOT asking how to roll my own. I just don't want to do so if someone already has it, including figuring out flexability in output format.)

RE: ICONV/OCONV for unix internal timestamp (secs past 00:00 01/01/1970)
Chuck, you need to worry about time zone when rendering the unix epoch time as it is UTC (aka GMT) based. A simple conversion of the unix epoch time to U2 date/time will be incorrect unless you are in Britain in the winter - and who'd be there then ;-) Have a look at http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DateUtility . DateUtility(parseEpochTime,intTimeStamp) will return U2 Date Time based on the local machine time zone. This function could be used as a conversion by wrapping it and globally cataloguing it as $ParseEpochTime OCONV(intTimeStamp,'UParseEpochTime') Cheers, Stuart -Original Message- Behalf Of Stevenson, Charles unix generally keeps track of time as number of seconds past midnight GMT, Jan 1, 1970.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stuart Boydell Have a look at http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DateUtility . DateUtility(parseEpochTime,intTimeStamp) will return U2 Date Time based on the local machine time zone. Now that's rich. There's a lot there. Looks like maybe good to piggyback on it. thanks, cds -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
