Details |
The VMSTIMEF. format is specific to OpenVMS. You cannot specify a width with this format; the width is always 8 bytes.
OpenVMS date and time values that are read in with the VMSTIME. informat retain precision up to 1/100 of a second, even though the SAS System cannot display anything less than whole seconds. If you later use the VMSTIMEF. format to write out the date-time value, the precision is retained.
