DLPT (8-byte character string)

Time when message was put on the dead-letter (undelivered-message) queue.

The format used for the time when this field is generated by the queue manager is:

where the characters represent (in order):

HH

hours (00 through 23)

MM

minutes (00 through 59)

SS

seconds (00 through 59; see note below)

T

tenths of a second (0 through 9)

H

hundredths of a second (0 through 9)
Note:
If the system clock is synchronized to a very accurate time standard, it is possible on rare occasions for 60 or 61 to be returned for the seconds in DLPT. This happens when leap seconds are inserted into the global time standard.

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is used for the DLPD and DLPT fields, subject to the system clock being set accurately to GMT.

The length of this field is given by LNPTIM. The initial value of this field is 8 blank characters.
