Datetime Values

Java, CORBA, and the SAS System all use different datetime formats:

	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 Java Class Documentation. Conversions between CORBA and SAS datetime formats are handled automatically by the IOM Bridge for Java.
