The TUw.
informat reads timer unit values that are produced by IBM mainframe operating
environments and converts the timer unit values to SAS time values.
There are exactly 38,400 software timer units per second.
The low-order bit in a timer unit value represents approximately 26.041667
microseconds.
Use the TUw. informat to
read timer unit values that are produced by an IBM mainframe on other operating
environments.
