3607.0. "-1W in date field now gives invalid date error" by LOOKIN::BARHAM (Norbert:) Tue Nov 30 1993 12:08

    ALL-IN-1 3.0-1
    
    If you log into ALL-IN-1 and immediately do WP Index and Tab to the
    creation date, you find you cannot enter -1W (to represent today minus 1 
    week). It says :-
    
    Invalid date or date command entered
    
    You can in fact enter TOD-1W but you did not have to do this in the
    previous version.
    Customer feels this is a problem with calendar initialisation as if you
    do TM EV it will then allow you to go back to WP I and enter -1W in the 
    creation date without error.
    His workaround was to put CAL SET DATE TODAY in the oaini.scp but he finds
    that this seems to open the filecabinet which causes housekeeping procedures
    like TRM to fail (because the MANAGERs filecabinet is open).
    He was wondering if there were any other clever ideas as to how to 
    get around this and why it has changed in the new version ? (He is aware 
    that he could probably put a CAL SET DATE TODAY on a pre-function but is 
    this really necessary ?)
    
    Thanks,
    
    Clive

	The same problem is present in the EM subsystem as well. If you want to use dates in any subsystem (EM, WP, SM, etc), you've got to initialize TM first. Modify the named data for each subsystem to include the following two functions, somewhere in the /PRE: CALENDAR INITIALIZE FILES CALENDAR INITIALIZE MONTH Dave Zaniewski
