# MX\_GETUPTIME > [HTML Version](mx_getuptime.htm) _Added January 2021_ **XCALL MIAMEX, MX\_GETUPTIME, systime \{,jobtime, ashtime\}** MX\_GETUPTIME (MIAMEX 198) retrieves information about the amount of time that the system has been up and the job has been logged in: **Parameters** _systime _ ([Num](num.htm.md)) \[in\] Number of seconds since the operating system booted. _jobtime_ ([Num](num.htm.md)) \[in\] Number of seconds since the current job logged in. _ashtime _ ([Num](num.htm.md)) \[in\] Number of seconds since the Job Table (jobtbl.sys) last created.
