API Overview:
The Convert Degrees, Minutes, Seconds to Seconds API (OMCDMSS) is used to convert latitude and longitude expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds to latitude and longitude expressed in total signed seconds.

Required Parameter Group Details:
(1) Latitude in Signed Seconds
OUTPUT; PACKED(7,0)
This parameter returns the latitude in total signed seconds. Latitudes in the southern hemisphere are returned as negative values. Latitudes in the northern hemisphere are returned as positive values.

(2) Latitude in Deg, Min, Sec
INPUT; CHAR(7)
This parameter is a fixed format data structure that contains the latitude in degrees, minutes, seconds format. See the shaded table below for the data structure format.

1-2	Latitude Degrees	Zoned(2)
3-4	Latitude Minutes	Zoned(2)
5-6	Latitude Seconds	Zoned(2)
7-7	Latitude Hemisphere N Northern hemisphere S Southern hemisphere	Char(1)

(3) Longitude in Signed Seconds
OUTPUT; PACKED(7,0)
This parameter returns the longitude in total signed seconds. Longitudes in the eastern hemisphere are returned as negative values. Longitudes in the western hemisphere are returned as positive values.

(4) Longitude in Deg, Min, Sec
INPUT; CHAR(8)
This parameter is a fixed format data structure that contains the longitude in degrees, minutes, seconds format. See the shaded table below for the data structure format.

1-3	Longitude Degrees	Zoned(3)
4-5	Longitude Minutes	Zoned(2)
6-7	Longitude Seconds	Zoned(2)
8-8	Longitude Hemisphere W Western hemisphere E Eastern hemisphere	Char(1)
