At the TRM PM I am using a time specification, which is defined as
BINRELTIM in the MSL. I give the following command:
SET TIMER xxx EXPIRATION 0-0:0:1 or
SET TIMER xxx EXPIRATION "0-0:0:1.0"
The TRM module gives me always
%LIB-F-ABMDATTIM, ambiguous date-time.
I tought this is the correct representation.
Is this a BUG or my misconception ?
Note:
In the SRM, the description of MCC$TIME_MULT has a wrong format
MCC$TIME_MULT result,time1,time2 should be replaced by
MCC$TIME_MULT result,time,scalar

The TRM PM calls the MCC$TIME routines to convert time from a string
to its internal representation. There is currently a bug for delta
times, such that when the Day portion is specified, it does not work.
In your example, if you just want a delta time of 1 second, specifying
00:00:01 will work.
This bug will be QARed.

| 22.2 | PROBLEM - Still AMBDATTIM or INV_DESCR. | KETJE::MCC | Tue Oct 17 1989 12:25 | 4 | |
If I use a relative time 00:00:01, or 00:00:01.00 I get
%MCC-E-INV_DESCR, invalid string descriptor encountered.

Sorry about that. I'm always running the most recent TRM since I
work on TRM, so I forget about bug fixes that aren't available until
the next build. The "invalid string descriptor" message was due
to a bug in the Console datatype conversion routines. I had found
the problem sometime after the x0.08.0 build and fixed it. It will
be available in x0.08.1.
