AW: Re: [SNMP4J] cannot print out date properly

Hi Ron,

The formatting and displaying of SNMP values is not
part of the protocol API. Such functions should be
placed one level higher. You can use JASMI 
(http://www.mibdesigner.com) or other
Java SMI APIs to implement such functionality.

Best regards,
Frank
