TS_ZERO means the beginning of the epoch (i.e., 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) and corresponds to a numeric value of zero. The data-product whose metadata was printed in the above had a creation-time of zero. The creation-time is set by the LDM ingester that created the data-product. > I just want to make sure I'm not missing something on my 6.0.14 port. > -- > Stonie R.
