I am reading in a file from the IFS and I am wanting to get the modification date and time. I am using Scott Klement's copybooks and I know the field to use is st_mtime. I understand this field is in *DTS format so I am going to convert it using the QWCCVTDT API. This API expects the input date to be in an 8 alpha field. The st_mtime field is defined as 10i 0. I have a data structure in my program like this:
D DS
D DateDts 8a
D DateBin 10i 0 overlay(DateDts)
I then do this:
DateBin = st_mtime;
I get returned nothing close to the actual modification date and time I see on the properties of the file in the IFS. It is showing 07/15/2015 whereas the returned date is 04/23/1976.
Trouble with my data structure?
Thanks in advance?
