Hi one and all
ALL-IN-1 v2.4 or v3.0-1
Customer has found that when scheduling a Housekeeping procedure
for example, TRM, that the time they enter can be wrongly converted.
To reproduce on v3, SM MSY MHP C {cr} enter TRM as the procedure name.
The date doesn't seem relevant, so enter any valid date and TAB
to the Time field. If you then type in 2:00 {TAB} it will more
than likely convert it to 02:00pm rather than am.
However I have found that if on US SWC I set my working day as
00:00am to 05:00pm (rather than 08:00am to 05:00pm as it was before)
that the date convert will work correctly.
Strangely this problem seems easier to reproduce on v3.0 altho the
customer is using v2.4. On v2.4 I have not been able to consistently
reproduce but it does occur.
The dependence on the working day setting sounds familiar but I cant
find anything on it now.....
Any input gratefully received
cheers

Hi,
Having had a little play suggests that another factor is whether you
are using the 12 or 24 hour clock. It seems to default to 2am with the
24 hour clock and 2pm with the 12 hour clock. I'm sure that it must
have been designed that way ;^)
Cheers

Hi Stuart, thanks for the reply, hadn't thought about the type of clock. Needless to say I was totally convinced by your explanation that it was designed that way.....for about a second.....:-) But just to see how creative you can be, I'll have to point out that if you play a bit more you'll find that with a 12 hour clock and a start time of 8am; 1,2,3, 4 + 5am can never be scheduled but 6 + 7am can..... dont tell me the clock in IOSG doesn't have those times on it....:-) Looks like the 24 hour clock is the best workaround. cheers Alan. | |||||
| 3126.3 | it's a fix, not design | FROIS1::HOFMANN | Stefan Hofmann, LC Frankfurt, ISE | Wed Aug 11 1993 11:58 | 15 |
Stuart,
this will be a disappointment for you, but it has NOT been designed that
way. In fact it was designed to work the way Alan describes for both, 12
and 24 hour clock. Since this was wrong behaviour at least for the 24
hour clock, it was fixed in an earlier version (V2.3 I think). Since
then, the 12 hour clock still has the old think-about-what-user-wants
algorithm, while the 24 hours clock has the new take-exact-match
mechanism.
The personal working hours do not influence this behaviour, so the
workaround can only be to select 24 hour mode.
