Time of connection start as string (System class)
[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.8]
The purpose of this method is to help provide service time statistics for web requests.
Syntax
%string = %(System):ConnectionStartTimeString[( [format])] Throws InvalidDateString
Syntax terms
| %string | The returned value is the connection start time; it is a string in the format specified by the format argument, if the thread is a TCP/IP server (for example, Janus Web Server) thread, or the null string otherwise. |
|---|---|
| %(System) | The class name in parentheses denotes a shared method. ConnectionStartTimeString can also be invoked via a System object variable, which may be null. |
| format | A datetime format string. This is an optional argument; the default format is YYYYMMDDHHMISSXXX. |
Usage notes
- The connection time is as of the earliest detection of the connection. For a new connection, this means when the Janus TCP PST sees the first request for a connection.
- To do your own service time calculations, you can do something like:
%serviceTime = %(system):currentTimeMilliseconds - %(system):connectionStartTimeString
A satisfactory result is not guaranteed if this code is run on a VTAM 3270 thread.
