Convert GMT Seconds to Date
Classic iSeries integration requires that timestamps be represented in GMT-Seconds. This takes the form of a positive integer representing the number of seconds since January 1st, 1988 (GMT timezone). The Portal Toolkit requires that the format be a timestamp string: "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ". The "T" and "Z" are constants and never change.
This API permits conversion from one format to the other.
