Description:
When running course-03, we are finding that many items that should be reported in the output files are not reported. Furthermore, of the items reported, only a fraction have been restored with the original item data.
Question: If the courses whose items we want to take off of Reserve have a To-date of "20091211", can we specify "20091211" as the "Course not active since" date in the p_course_03 submission?
Resolution:
The b_course_03_a program has this logic:
IF Z108-DATE-TO < P-SINCE-DATE
THEN
MOVE "Y" TO SW-FILTERED
END-IF
That is, in order to be included (and not filtered out), the course's z108_date_to needs to be *greater than* the p_since_date. If the z108_date_to is less than the p_since_date, the course will not be included.
Since the courses in question have a z108_date_to of '20091211', it seems to me that the "Course not active since" date should be '20091210'.
