This may be of use to someone When I converted to UniVerse from ADDS Mentor I needed to change the behaviour of UniVerse to return SYSTEM(12) as milliseconds not seconds. In my conversion program I put the statement $OPTIONS TIME.MILLISECOND at the top of every program. Later after conversion I put that statement into a piece of code that was normally included in most programs - to avoid accidentally missing it out. A couple of days ago I made a minor change to a program and recompiled. The result was that instead of SYSTEM(12) returning milliseconds it returned seconds, with three decimal places. This in on NT4. Investigation showed that $OPTIONS TIME.MILLISECOND is a switch and I had inadvertently switched it off again via my included code. Thinking back I think I have seen this before on AIX but not recognised the cause. A while ago I think I recall there was discussion about SYSTEM(12) returning decimal places on HPUX 11. Maybe this was a contributory factor. Sara burns Sara Burns (SEB) Project Leader (Vantive) Public Trust Phone: +64 (04) 474-3841 (DDI)
