How does one read the time stamp in a BUFR message? I only know how to read it from subsets.

@SteveStegall-NOAA , hopefully we can use this for the receipt time in the satingest tanks.

The easiest way to read in the year, month, day, hour, minute, etc. (or any other Section 1 value, for that matter :-) is via the function iupvs01.

I just saw your second comment to Steve. The time values I mentioned in my previous reply are valid for the actual data in the message, not the NCEP tank receipt time which is a completely different animal. If you want the tank receipt time then you need to use subroutine rtrcpt.

Thanks, Jeff!
