Hi

I am trying to create a Webfocus Utilization Report Using BOTLOG table of ReportCaster Metadata,

The Column Start_Stamp has value like '00000000000000000001417602095864'.

Not Sure what this format is and How can i derive the Date-timestamp out of this.

Please Help.

Unfortunately the link Doesnot Open.
Can you give a piece of code that converts Zulu Timestamp to a readable timestamp?

It's the number of milliseconds since midnight on January 1st, 1970 in the GMT/UTC time zone.

I haven't found a way to convert that to a local datetime using plain FOCUS code, but I did manage to convert it using the following bit of passthru SQL (Our report caster database lives in an MSSQL database):
SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
SELECT GETDATE() - GETUTCDATE() AS DIFF_UTC, ' ' AS DUMMY;
END

DEFINE FILE SQLOUT
	EPOCH_AT_TZ/HYYMDs = HADD(DIFF_UTC, 'yy', 70, 8, EPOCH_AT_TZ);
END
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT EPOCH_AT_TZ
BY DUMMY
ON TABLE HOLD AS MAI00010H_TZINFO FORMAT FOCUS INDEX DUMMY
END
-RUN

John Gray wrote an excellent article on adjusting for local time - link - combine that with the article from Susannah and it's easy to build what you need.

Also search on Zulu time from the search button above. There are a whole host of posts on this subject.

Suffice to say that the number is a count of milliseconds since the base date-time.
