DATE — Date Range (Selection Parameter)

Tells EREP to

Select records created during the specified date range.

Syntax

DATE=({yyddd[,yyddd] | yyddd[-yyddd]})

yyddd

The year yy and the Julian day ddd.

The first yyddd is the year and day when the date range begins; the second yyddd is the ending year and day. The second date is optional; you can select records from a single date as well as from a range of dates. To select a single date, code only one yyddd.

When you code a date range, the second yyddd must be greater than or equal to the first. If it is not, EREP issues a syntax-error message.

Defaults

If you do not code the DATE parameter, all the records in the ERDS or history file will be selected for all the reports except for the trends report. For the trends report the default is to process 30 days of error data ending with the current date.

Coding

DATE is valid with all the report parameters.
To express a range of 30 days, add 29 to the beginning Julian day.
DATE is required when you use the TIME selection parameter.

Parameter Conflicts

ZERO

Notes

If you use the DATE parameter, you cannot use ZERO=Y because you have excluded some records from processing.
The dates in the PERIOD FROM and TO in the report headings are the dates of the first and the last record found within the date range specified in the DATE parameter.

Examples

DATE=(82137)

DATE=(82136,82143)

DATE=(89152-89181)
