Use this program to set the system date for the FACTS' terminals.
Usually, the system date is already set when you start up the system. If for some reason the date is incorrect, or for example, you need to set the date back a day to finish up yesterday’s work, the date can be changed.
On some computer systems an ERROR=18 results when attempting to change date or time if you do not have permissions set correctly for the host operating system. Should this occur, abort the procedure and attempt again when proper permissions have been assigned.
To set the date , specify the New Date. If the day is set more than three days from the current date a warning is given, but the day is still set to its new value. The current system date and time are displayed.
Check the Use This Date check box to set the FACTS system time to the value you specified.
Click OK for the new date to take effect. When the date is changed, it will be displayed in the upper left portion of the FACTS Main screen and surrounded by asterisks (***). The date change lasts only for the session the FACTS user is logged into.
