Ron, the FORTRAN H compiler and library know nothing about the high 
resolution "System Clock" that appears with S/370. They all used the 
equivalent of " TIME BIN " macro calls using the old S/360 System Timer. 
You'll have to write a Assembler subroutine if you want the SYSTEM CLOCK 
value.

Most, if not all, the library subroutines and functions intended for 
user calls are documented in the S/360 Fortran H Programmer's Guide.
