Rajesh,

There are actually 27 fields if you parse the output via spaces.  The
creation time field is #25.     

 1      =       FRAG
 2      =       1
 3      =       1
 4      =       495360
 5      =       0
 6      =       2
 7      =       6
 8      =       198
 9      =       D00145
10      =       <Master>
11      =       262144
12      =       429751
13      =       1216869152
14      =       0
15      =       0
16      =       *NULL*
17      =       1217734709
18      =       1
19      =       65536
20      =       0
21      =       0
22      =       0
23      =       0
24      =       0
25      =       1217047219
26      =       0
27      =       *NULL*

When using the "-l" option in bpimagelist, it will show the raw output
as it is stored in the catalog.    The 10 digit # is the Unix time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

This can be translated via:

# bpdbm -ctime 1216869152
1216869152 = Wed Jul 23 22:12:32 2008

# bpdbm -ctime 1217047219
1217047219 = Fri Jul 25 23:40:19 2008

If you need to translate a bunch of these numbers there are several way
that this can be done more efficiently via Perl or other languages.

You can also use the "-L" option with bpimagelist for a more detailed
"human readable" format.

Thanks Mike. We are indeed running NBU 6.5.2 on one of our masters and I
don't see the additional fields in the FRAG Lines. According to the
technote, Filed 25 should be the copy creation time, but  I don't see
those many fileds. Here is the example of the FRAG Line from a 6.5.2
system  - 

FRAG 1 1 495360 0 2 6 198 D00145 <Master> 262144 429751 1216869152 0 0
*NULL* 1217734709 1 65536 0 0 0 0 0 1217047219 0 *NULL*
