Java, CORBA, and SAS all use different datetime formats.
These formats are shown in the following table.
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/rnd/javadoc/93. Conversions between CORBA and SAS datetime formats are handled
automatically by the IOM Bridge for Java.
