TIME — Time Range (Selection Parameter)

Tells EREP to

Select only those records created during the specified time period.

Defaults

EREP selects records regardless of when they were created.

Coding

• You must always code DATE when you code TIME.
• You code hhmm using a 24-hour clock (for example: 1400 for 2 p.m.).

Parameter Conflicts

ZERO

Notes

• If you use the TIME parameter, you cannot use ZERO=Y because that excludes some records from processing.
• If the second hhmm value is greater than or equal to the first, the time interval pertains to each day of the date range specified on the DATE parameter. For example:

  DATE=(89031,89033),TIME=(1000,1100)

  tells EREP to select records from 10:00 to 11:00 on each of three successive days.
• If the second hhmm value is less than the first, EREP assumes that the time interval crosses a day boundary. The interval is then regarded as two sub-intervals, one ending at 2400 and the other beginning at 0000. For example:

  DATE=(89031–89033),TIME=(1100–1000)

  tells EREP to select records from 1100 to 2400 on day 89031; from 000 to 1000 and 1100 to 2400 on day 89032; and from 000 to 1000 on day 89033.
