Thanks again

Assuming that you don't have GNU date available then. You could write a small bit of C and invoke the binary:


Code:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

int main( )
{
    struct tm ltime;
    struct timeval tv;
    time_t  now;

    now = time( NULL );
    localtime_r( &now, &ltime );
    gettimeofday( &tv, NULL );
    printf( "%4d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d.%d\n", ltime.tm_year + 1900, ltime.tm_mon + 1, ltime.tm_mday, ltime.tm_hour, ltime.tm_min, ltime.tm_sec, tv.tv_usec );

    return 0;
}

If programme is saved as datens.c then this command should build datens binary:


Code:
cc -o datens datens.c

This of course assumes your libc includes gettimeofday(). I don't have access to an AIX box, so I'm unsure what other options you might have.
