Hello friend,
Recently I encountered a problem which involve time
synchronication/scheduling between two remote systems. One system
running a Java program has to schedule a task on another system running
a C prog. on TCP interface.
Problem is how to send time/date independent of time-zone and
programming issues. Since systems might have different OS, so epoch
time might cause problem ( I heard UNIX take base value as 1 Jan, 1970
while Win2K takes 1 Jan, 1900).
I just want the value and date-type conformity so as to make message
parsing as simple as possible. So what should be the date-time format
and the data type to use???
Please help in this regard ASAP,
Adi
