Systems and methods for implementing a multi-word UTC time stamp using a single-word UTC time stamp and a multi-word key are disclosed. Embodiments may include creating a data file and creating a single-word time stamp to associate with the data file. Embodiments may further include creating a multi-word configuration key to associate with the single-word time stamp, wherein the configuration key comprises a time zone offset value, a seasonal time offset value, a standard time mnemonic, and a seasonal time mnemonic. Some embodiments may also include storing, In memory, the data file, single-word time stamp, and configuration key. |

1. A method for implementing a multi-word coordinated universal time (UTC) time stamp using a single-word UTC time stamp and a multi-word key,
creating, by a processor, a data file; creating, by the processor, a single-word time stamp to associate with the data file, wherein at least one bit of the single-word time stamp specifies a format of the single-word time stamp, at least one bit of the single-word time stamp indicates whether or not a seasonal offset is in effect, and a remainder of the bits of the single-word time stamp specify a time in a UTC time base; creating, by the processor, a multi-word configuration key to associate with the single-word time stamp, wherein the configuration key comprises a time zone offset value, a seasonal time offset value, a standard time mnemonic, and a seasonal time mnemonic; and storing, by the processor, in memory, the data file, single-word time stamp, and configuration key. |
