Portability Subroutine: Packs time and date values.

Module: USE IFPORT

Syntax

CALL PACKTIMEQQ (timedate, iyr, imon, iday, ihr, imin, isec)

timedate
(Output) INTEGER(4). Packed time and date information.

iyr
(Input) INTEGER(2). Year (xxxx AD).

imon
(Input) INTEGER(2). Month (1 - 12).

iday

ihr

The packed time is the number of seconds since 00:00:00 Greenwich mean time, January 1, 1970. Because packed time values can be numerically compared, you can use PACKTIMEQQ to work with relative date and time values. Use UNPACKTIMEQQ to unpack time information. SETFILETIMEQQ uses packed time.
