Re: FW: FTP RCMD Date Weirdness

Probably using job date.  FTP session starts before midnight, at midnight 
job date doesn't change.  Job probably ended & restarted in the early 
hours of the morning for backup - gets new days job date then from system 
date.

I got this message from a coworker. Any idea why ftp rcmd executed 
programs would be getting an incorrect date, or if there is any 
workaround?

Here's a weird one for you...
 
 Mr. Pink has noticed that the picking slip confirm date stored in Gal 
appears to be a day behind sometimes.   I checked out the program (RRU12) 
that stores the date in CS from the manifest upload and it is just moving 
*DATE into STCNF.  This program is run every half hour and is run from an 
FTP session using RCMD.
 
Mr. Black and I also had noticed this in something else when he was here. 
It appears that sometimes yesterday's date is returned for *DATE when run 
from an FTP RCMD.   To test this, I wrote a program JKJ/QSRC.TCPDATE to 
output the date from *DATE.  Last night I ran it via FTP RCMD and it 
reported the correct date and time.   However, this morning when I ran it 
via FTP RCMD it still reported yesterday's date.  The results of this are 
in my spool files.
