The VMSTIME. informat is specific to the OpenVMS operating
environment. You cannot specify a width with this informat; 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 SAS 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.
