Arguments

 

timbuf

   OpenVMS usage:vector_word_unsigned
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by 32- or 64-bit reference (Alpha and Integrity
                 servers)
   Buffer into which $NUMTIM writes the converted date and time.
   The timbuf argument is the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and
   Integrity server systems) of a 7-word structure.

   Refer to the VSI OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual to view
   the diagram of the fields in this structure.

   If the timadr argument specifies a delta time, $NUMTIM returns
   the value 0 in the year since 0 and month of year fields. It
   returns in the day of month field the number of days specified by
   the delta time.
 

timadr

   OpenVMS usage:date_time
   type:         quadword
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by 32- or 64-bit reference (Alpha and Integrity
                 servers)
   The 64-bit time value to be converted. The timadr argument is the
   32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and Integrity server systems) of
   a quadword containing this time. A positive-time value represents
   an absolute time, while a negative time value indicates a delta
   time.

   If you do not specify timadr, $NUMTIM returns the current system
   time.

   If timadr specifies the value 0, $NUMTIM returns the base date
   (November 17, 1858).
