Accounting and elapsed time of 17-Nov-1858?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Dear Wizard,
Why does the following command sometimes display the base time?
 
$ pipe show proc/acc | sear sys$input Elapsed
 Elapsed CPU time:       17-NOV-1858 00:00:00.00
 
 
 


The Answer is :

 
  It would appear that there is a quadword zero in the time field
  of the data record -- when interpreted as an absolute time, a
  quadword zero will return the system base date (17-Nov-1958).
  Of interest would be the origin and the full contents of the
  particular accounting record(s) in question.
 
  Please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center for assistance.
