Datetime Values
Java, CORBA, and SAS all use different datetime formats:  
    | 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 
SAS Foundation Services class documentation.
Conversions between CORBA and SAS datetime formats are handled automatically by the IOM 
Bridge for Java.
