1084.0. "Is CDD effected by this Digital Delta time limit stuff?" by BROKE::BASTINE () Tue Apr 29 1997 13:49

Hi Everyone,

   There has been lots of talk about the VMS Delta Time Limit that Digital
just announced recently.  Customers are calling to find out how this problem
effects products like Rdb and Cdd.  Rdb Engineering just published a statement
stating that Rdb is not effected, but I had a customer ask about CDD.  I 
wouldn't think it would be effected, due to the fact that time-stamped data
isn't stored in the CDD, but I don't know that much about Digital's statement,
so thought I would ask here.  Is CDD effected by this at all?

Thanks,
Renee

	~I wouldn't think it would be effected, due to the fact that time-stamped data ~isn't stored in the CDD, Actually timestamped data is stored in the CDD. But as it is base don Rdb then it also uses the same time information. I wouldn't expect CDD to be affected by this bug or the Year 2000. Ian

	>I wouldn't expect CDD to be affected by this bug or the Year 2000. I won't call it a bug since it is a documented restriction prior to VMS 7.1 for: LIB$CVT_TO_INTERNAL_TIME LIB$CVT_FROM_INTERNAL_TIME LIB$CVTF_TO_INTERNAL_TIME LIB$CVTF_FROM_INTERNAL_TIME LIB$CVT_VECTIM LIB$ADD_TIMES LIB$SUB_TIMES LIB$MULT_DELTA_TIME LIB$MULTF_DELTA_TIME LIB$CONVERT_DATE_STRING. When I asked this question to CDD/Administrator ( NOMAHS::CDDT 354 ), the answer was that CDD/Administrator would not be impacted by this restriction. I assumed that CDD/Repository would not be impacted too but a formal answer from CDD/Repository too would be better. Patrick

	The only one of these routines that CDD uses is LIB$CONVERT_DATE_STRING. It is only used to process "TODAY", "TOMORROW" & "YESTERDAY". We don't anticipate any problems with these.
