| Using Java CORBA Stubs for IOM Objects |
Java, CORBA, and SAS all use different datetime formats. These formats are shown in the following table.
| Language |
Starting Date |
Increments |
|---|---|---|
| Java | January 1, 1970 | milliseconds |
| CORBA | October 15, 1582 | 100s of nanoseconds |
| SAS | January 1, 1960 | seconds |
The IOM Bridge for Java and the Java CORBA stubs for IOM objects specify datetimes using the CORBA datetime format and a data type of long . To assist with conversions between Java and CORBA datetime formats, use the DateConverter class, as described in the Foundation Services class documentation at http://support.sas.com/92api . Conversions between CORBA and SAS datetime formats are handled automatically by the IOM Bridge for Java.
