[comp.databases] SQL/VMS

glenn@ocsmd.ocs.com (Glenn Ford) (12/04/90)

I am trying to read in DATE type strings from SQL/VMS and do comparisons
of date/times (down to the second).  Is there an easy way to do this?

Use the VMS date routines (like SYS$BINTIM & SYS$ASCTIM).  Check the standard
VMS library for even more routines (beginning with LIB$).
