Hi All,

I have a requirement to get the Timestamp from a load Module.

I got it with the AMBLIST REXX command.

ADDRESS TSO ,
"ALLOC FI(LOAD) DSORG(PO) SHR DSNAME"'('"'"inpds4"("newstr')'"'"')'
ADDRESS TSO ,
"ALLOC FI(SYSIN) NEW SPA(1,1) TR REUSE "
ADDRESS TSO ,
"ALLOC FI(SYSPRINT) NEW SPA(1,1) CYL REUSE"
DROP CTRL.
CTRL.1 = " LISTLOAD DDN=LOAD,MEMBER="newstr",OUTPUT=XREF "
CTRL.0 = 1
ADDRESS TSO,
"EXECIO * DISKW SYSIN (FINIS STEM CTRL."
ADDRESS LINKMVS "AMBLIST"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sysprint collected from AMBLIST is as below.

From the SYSPRINT i collected the TS on Line no 31. i found that actual TS (20120628182446040200) in the LOAD is one scond more than i got with AMBLIST.
I believe the TS which i got is the TS of Object module and not a Load module. So AMBLIST is used to get the object module TS? if so is there any utility to get the Load module TS.

Also the SYSPRINT is not same for all LOAD modules, in few i didn't found the TS at all.

Is there any other utility to get the TS from LOAD. your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

There is no time of day as an object deck attribute. Many compilers insert the time of day as text into the binary text, but this is not recognized by AMBLIST.

The load module time of day used by AMBLIST was not stored in the load module IDR data until some time in the 1990s when the Binder effectively replaced the Linkage Editor. Load modules created before this change, as well as load modules created by the old Linkage Editor (yes, it's still available!) do not have the time of day they were linked in the load module.
