Question on the caa csf extension

[Michael Bieganski]

Hello Forum,   Anyone out there using the CAA csf extension (via exec CYBESS60 ) ?   This is the one where one can

provide an applname and a date-cutoff and it will complete multiple open versions of that appl. with the one command.

After loading cybess60, when I try executing CAA with an applname and date in our ESP v11.4 csf, I get :

COMMAND GENTIME NOT FOUND
25 *-* "GENTIME X" Cutoff
+++ RC(-3) +++
Invalid cutoff date NOW
***

No matter what I put for the cutoff date, it says 'invalid' so I believe that might just be a red herring and it's solely

the 'gentime not found' that is the big villain here.

I get no nastygrams issuing GENTIME in pagemode, but for some reason, it's not found in the CSF??

Any ideas as to what's wrong with the picture??

thanks,

[Andrew Wilkes]

Yes I use it twice a month in our Application Test Environment, I have both wild carded the Application '-' and have entered an application name, the date format was mm/dd/yyyy. This has been successful.

my version of cybess60 shows copyright 2011 in it's comments so maybe it's dated as I don't get '....date mm/dd/yyyy'

I just get 'Please enter the cutoff date'   sans the date format hint

But I just tried 08/09/2018  for the cutoff and still no go:

 

Please enter the Application name or mask (-,*) allowed

Please enter the cutoff date
08/09/2018
COMMAND GENTIME NOT FOUND
25 *-* "GENTIME X" Cutoff
+++ RC(-3) +++
Invalid cutoff date 08/09/2018

Hey, 

Try something like 

I use CAA but I put in TODAY LESS 20 DAYS 

 

See if this works for you. 

[Michael Bieganski]

that worked!  I tried now less 20 days and it worked fine.   

Not sure why 08/09/2018  returns invalid for me but  at least this is somewhat functioning

 

thanks!!!
