CREA PLAM Creation Date

CREA For PLAM Library elements: Creation Date of Element.

Number of days since the element first appeared in the library. This date is not the same as the date the element was last amended.

Selection parameter: >x | <x | =x or

in Date format: >dd. [mm. [yy] ] | <dd. [mm. [yy] ] | =dd. [mm. [yy] ]

If mm.yy or yy is omitted, the current month and year will be substituted.

Notes:

When a library is reorganised, the CREA date of the element is lost. The CREA date of all elements will be the date of the reorganisation.

If, as in LMS, the User date should be used for the selection of PLAM elements, then the UDAT command should be used. See page 18-.

The DATE command (page 18-) will cause the Creation Date of an element to be displayed in the form of a date, and not as an age in number of days.

Since the User Option column in a file list is only 5 bytes wide, the date will be compressed into the form YMMDD. Y indicates the last digit of the year (i.e. 0 for 1990).

Examples:

CREA=0

All elements first appearing in the PLAM library today will be selected.

CREA<7

All elements inserted into the library within the last 7 days will be selected.

CREA<15.05.

All elements which were inserted into the library after the 15.05 of the current year will be selected.
