TUw. |
Requirement: | w must be 4 because the OS TIME macro returns a four-byte value. |
Details |
The TUw. informat reads timer unit values that are produced by an IBM mainframe operating environment and OS/VS software and converts the timer unit values to SAS time values.
There are exactly 38,400 software timer units per second. The low-order bit in a timer unit value represents approximately 26.041667 microseconds.
Use the TUw. informat to read timer unit values that are produced by an IBM mainframe on other operating environments.
