Hello,
is there any documentation about the internal date/time format
used in TDMS? A customer wants tomake his own date/time
layout due to the Y2000 problem, but wants to know how
TDMS uses this internally (e.g. normal VMS 64 bit format)
Regards, Ton

The CDD record (expressed thru the CDDL language) allows the
record to have DATE, TIME or ADT types. The DATE and ADT
types are used in conjunction with TDMS picture strings expressed
in the CDD$FORM.
The problems with Y2000 in the TDMS context depends on the TDMS
picture string used for the form field. If 2 digit formats are
used for a form field then during data conversion stages will\plug the
current century - there lays the problem.
Bottom line - use 4 digit year formats. OpenVMS 7.1 data conversion
routines may change this...
