Standard Data Type Definitions 663
Dell Date
The DellDate definition is required because SNMP V1 does not support 64-bit ranges. The information
sent back by this subagent will have the most significant byte of the information as the first byte. For
example, the hex address 0x1029384754657687 will be sent as hex: 0001 0000 0010 1001 0011 1000 0100
0111 ... Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4.
Full Dates
Full dates are defined in the ASCII format:
yyyyMMddhhmmss.uuuuuu+fff or yyyyMMddhhmmss.uuuuuu-fff
where yyyy is the year, MM is the month, dd is the day, hh are the hours, mm are the minutes, and ss are
the seconds. uuuuuu is the number of microseconds, and +fff or
-fff is the offset from UTC in minutes. For example, Friday, October 31, 2001, at 6:05:19 PM CST would
be represented as 20011031180519.000000-360.
The values are zero-padded, and if a valid value for a field is not deliverable, each character in the field
will be replaced with an asterisk (*) character.
