CST270 Date Glitch?

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

For performance reasons I had been contemplating modifying CST900 to skip 
CST270 which runs to over 10,000 pages on approx 3,500 shop orders & which no 
one has been using, but on the occasion of a new comptroller at Central, I 
have been printing a few sample pages of audit trails associated with regular 
updates relevant to accounting to try to show what is going on behind our 
scenes.

We run our BPCS 405 CD V4R3 @ month-day-year format so I was displeased to 
observe 0/01/04 as the "cut-off date" on upper right corner of CST270 from 
CST900 ... what is the significance of this date ... relative to say the date 
on top of report of 1/04.00 when this was run?

I checked enough to see the program is out of REL-2 with CST270B RPG talking 
to CST270O DDS - the field is RN0114 effective date from RN0054 from PRM004 
in *ENTRY PLIST - there is no immediate evidence any of them manage any 
processing ... just move field to field to field, so I am hoping this is an 
SSA date conversion oversight.

I hate it when fields are named as if we were still programming in 
alphabetized machine language ... it makes them so meaningless.

I am also curous how we came to have some shop orders with a "release date" 
weeks in the future.
