Time types :
I want to use Binary Absolute time and Character Absolute time
types, but I have some problems to manipulate them through ILV
constructions :
For Binary Absolute time type I can't build correctly the Descriptor
to write into one ILV list, I have tried such parameters following
the SRM :
mcc_w_maxstrlen = sizeof(unsigned short); ( 16 bytes)
mcc_b_dtype = DSC_K_DTYPE_T; (following
SRM definitions )
OR
mcc_b_dtype = DSC_K_DTYPE_WU; ( following
mcc_interface_def.h definitions )
mcc_b_class = DSC_K_CLASS_S;
mcc_l_dt = MCC_K_DT_BIN_ABS_TIM;
But I always obtain the same error : Invalid string descriptor.
For Character Absolute time, could somebody give me some examples of
initialisation of fields and manipulation of this type.How copiyng
into this type an ascii time for example..
I need to adapt a VMS binary time ( 64 bytes) into one of those
2 types, because I need a string display and a string user-input.
Have you got some other ideas ?
Pascale.

your descriptor is too small. sizeof(short) is 16 bits, not 16 bytes.
A better way is to use the MCC_TIME_CREATE service to get yourself a time
descriptor of the appropriate time.

| 457.2 | mcc_time routines quite helpful | GOSTE::CALLANDER | Mon Nov 26 1990 14:21 | 9 | |
Along with the time_create mentioned by Jim there are also a number
of other mcc_time routines. These routines range in functions from
things like get_current to a copy command. In the latest SRM, just
coming available now (it has been a long wait getting them from
the presses) these routines are documented in much better detail
than previously.
