IJ01989: FORECAST DATES ARE NOT CALCULATED CORRECTLY WHEN THE PM HAS SEASONAL DATES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Forecast dates are not calculated correctly when the PM has
  seasonal dates.
  
  STEPS TO REPLICATE:
  1. Create a new PM - assign to it an asset and a job plan
  2. Frequency tab:
  Frequency: 1
  Frequency Units: MONTHS
  Estimated Next Due Date: 8 November 2017
  3. Seasonal Dates tab:
  Active Days -> check the checkboxes for all week days.
  Active Dates:
  Start Month: November
  Start Day: 1
  End Month: November
  End day: 30
  4. Save and activate the PM
  5. Select Action -> Generate Forecast:
  Forecast for (Days): 900
  Result: Forecast tab -> there is only one row for next year,
  when there
  should be at leats 2, one for November 2018 and one for
  November 2019
  as 900 days from now means April 2020.
  
  the client also tried to set the seasonal dates as follows:
  Start Month: JULY
  Start Day: 1
  End Month: AUGUST
  End Day: 31
  and generated the forecast for the next 900 days.
  The result is July 2018, August 2018 and there should be
  entries for
  July 2019 and August 2019 as well.
