What is the internal structure of a *ITV message data field?

  • 1.  What is the internal structure of a *ITV message data field?

    Posted Tue December 12, 2023 09:49 AM

    Does anyone here have any experience with the message data field type *ITV - as found in message ID CPI6705?

    According to the documentation it is "An 8-byte time interval that contains the time to the nearest whole second for various wait timeout conditions.". But when I look at the message tokens for message ID CPI6705, it is not simply an integer for the seconds.

    Here is the output from an SQL on table function QSYS2.JOBLOG_INFO, extracting

    regexp_substr( MESSAGE_SECOND_LEVEL_TEXT, 'open was (\d+) seconds', 1, 1, 'i', 1 ) as MESSAGE_TEXT

    and

    hex( substr( MESSAGE_TOKENS, 94, 8 ) ) as ITV_HEX

    MESSAGE_TEXT    ITV_HEX
    3    00000002AA77B000
    0    0000000009938002
    0    00000000391F1000
    16957    00003F2B55E8A000
    256    000000F47B709000
    2    000000021F889002
    0    0000000000761000
    2771    00000A52A44CD002
    2775    00000A5665DDB000
    0    0000000003B27002

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Best regards,

    Christian
