Resolution

SMFCLOCK is to be used with 8-byte binary TOD data. Output is in the format CCYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.

TIMECONV converts a 4-byte binary time to HH:MM:SS:hh.

If you are converting a SMF record defined as 4 B (time), then it should be passed to TIMECONV.

If you are converting a SMF record defined as 8 B (TOD -- date and time), then it should be passed to SMFCLOCK using the C parameter.
