I got a problem involving SCCS. In my program (stored as an SCCS-file) I use cftime(buf,"%d%m%y%H%M%S",&now) to generate a date/timestring ddmmyyHHMMSS. The problem is, that SCCS already converts the %H% that is caused by the combination of %H and %M to look like 06/13/90, ie. it replaces the date when I get the file for compilation. Is there a way to tell SCCS: - not to change a specific keyletter, - not to change at all ( there is -k) - not to change keyletters in a specifig range. I think of something like: %>% stop changing keyletters until you find %>%. This would take care of the problem. Anyone have a solution for me?

The easy way to fix this is to change your call to cftime as follows: cftime(buf,"%d\%m\%y\%H\%M\%S",&now) Which will do what you want and won't match any current or future SCCS id keywords. >Is there a way to tell SCCS: > - not to change a specific keyletter, > - not to change at all ( there is -k) > - not to change keyletters in a specifig range. I think of something There is no way not to change a range, and you probably don't want to turn off changing of the key letters since you should have them in real sccsid strings. If you really want to get the sccs version without having the keys translated, you could do the following: get -e s.junk.c rm p.junk.c chmod -w junk.c in your makefile, but I would recommend the backslash solution I listed above. -- Conor P.

One portable solution is to use instead { static char format[] = "%d%m%y%H?M%S"; format[8] = '%'; /* darn that SCCS */ cftime(buf,format,&now); }
