IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Programming: Pipes - IBM notice

PIPE EDIT
17-character date/time value. The data and time are for the local time zone
and are in the converted to the form: MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS.
To convert to Greenwich Mean Time, use ZDT.
Note: The current GMT offset is used in interpreting the local date and time,
whether a different offset was in effect at the given date and time. For
example, if the given value was before the latest daylight saving time
adjustment, the result can be off one hour from another interpretation of
the same date and time of an application.
DTS (conversion order)
Specifies that the input data is a 17-character local date/time value in the form
MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS, and is to be converted to a store clock (STCK) value which
is based on Greenwich Mean Time.
Note: The current GMT offset is used in interpreting the local date and time,
whether a different offset was in effect at the given date and time. For
example, if the given value was before the latest daylight saving time
adjustment, the result can be off one hour from another interpretation of
the same date and time of an application.
ETIME (conversion order)
Specifies that the input data is a store clock (STCK) value and is to be
converted to a decimal number representing the elapsed time in microseconds
since NetView startup. The result is a decimal number that can be longer than
10 digits. The result can also be a negative number indicating that the message
originated before NetView startup.
FOUND (conversion order)
FOUND is used after a SKIPTO or FINDLINE operation to translate a null
string into No and any other string into Yes. The case of the character string is
exactly as displayed, No or Yes.
F2C (conversion order)
Specifies that the input character data represents a signed or unsigned floating
point number and is to be converted to an 8-byte internal floating point
representation. You can use the LEFT 4 conversion order to reduce the output
to a short floating point internal number if desired.
F2C is the inverse of C2F.
G2C (conversion order)
Converts double-byte (DBCS) character strings to fixed-length strings by
removing the shift-out character in front of the string and the shift-in after the
string.
G2C is the inverse of C2G.
This conversion order is particularly useful when dealing with data interacting
with the SQL pipe stage.
GV2C or VG2C (conversion order)
Converts double-byte (DBCS) character strings to varying-length strings by
removing the shift-out character in front of the string and the shift-in after the
string. A 2-byte, unsigned length value precedes the converted string.
GV2C is the inverse of C2GV.
This conversion order is particularly useful when dealing with data interacting
with the SQL pipe stage.
