HELPLIB.HLB  —  RTL Routines, LIB$  LIB$CVT_FROM_INTERNAL_TIME
    The Convert Internal Time to External Time routine converts an
    internal OpenVMS system time (either absolute or delta) into an
    external time.

    Format

      LIB$CVT_FROM_INTERNAL_TIME  operation ,resultant-time

                                  [,input-time]

1  –  Returns 

    OpenVMS usage:cond_value
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by value

2  –  Arguments 

 operation

    OpenVMS usage:function_code
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    The conversion to be performed. The operation argument is the
    address of an unsigned longword containing the operation. The
    following table shows valid values for operation:

    LIB$K_JULIAN_DATE       Absolute     Julian date
    LIB$K_DELTA_WEEKS       Delta
    LIB$K_DELTA_DAYS        Delta
    LIB$K_DELTA_HOURS       Delta
    LIB$K_DELTA_MINUTES     Delta

 resultant-time

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by reference

    The external time that results from the conversion. The
    resultant-time argument is the address of an unsigned longword
    containing the result.

 input-time

    OpenVMS usage:date_time
    type:         quadword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Optional absolute or delta time to be converted. The input-time
    argument is the address of an unsigned quadword containing the
    time. If you do not supply a value for input-time, the current
    system time is used.
