Re: How to process *UTC/*UTCD/*UTCT values in message data

[Peter Dow <petercdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vern,

I happen to have run into the same issue.  The watch monitor (STRWCH) 
passes event data to a monitor program.  One of those items is 
MsgTimestamp char(8).

I found this:

https://www.mcpressonline.com/programming/apis/the-api-corner-how-do-you-want-that-date-and-time

which explains how to use the QWCCVTDT api.

I'm just getting started on a test program.
