Re: Days Used = 0

[Pete Massiello <pmassiello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

    You hit it on the head.  You said you did a complete system reload, so you
therefore restored every object on your system, which means the last changed,
last used, days used, and last saved were all initialized.

    Normally for an Operating System upgrade, you basically restore new versions
of the objects into QSYS and any other LPP Library that you are upgrading.  You
did a complete system reload for your hardware upgrade, which is very much
different.
