Couldn't you divide by 100 and 10000 to extract the DD, MM and YY fields, and add 1900 or 2000 depending if YY is below 80

correct me ?

   day = date/10000;

         month = date/100-(day*100);

         year = date/100-((day*100)+month);

int day,month,year;
 
         day = date/10000;
 
         month = date/100-(day*100);
 
         year = date/100-((day*100)+month);
 
       printf("======================GPRMC PARSING =================\r\n");
 
         printf("UTC date %x \r\n",date);
 
         printf("Day %u-",day);
 
         printf("Month %u-",month);
 
         printf("Year %u-",year);
 
         printf("\r\n");
 
         printf("====================== D O N E !=================\r\n");

am I right ?

Thanks

Put the code in a function, and run test cases against it.

The year computation is broken

Thanks Clive, I will test it and keep posted, thank you...

I got output :

UTC date 1050649 
                                                             
Day 105 Month  6 Year 2049
   

for input 100819

 sscanf(field[9],"%x",&date); // UTC date

         test1(date);

         test2(date);
