RALLY is passing bogus date data in ADLs.
I got this on 7.0. Customer saw it on 6.1.
Create a date global, XXX.
Create an RMS DSD that has a date field in it.
Now do the following in ADL:
var id : number;
status : number;
begin
xxx := last_day(system_date);
db_open(date,id,status);
DATE.DATE1 := xxx;
db_insert(id,status);
db_commit(status);
end;
In SQL do SELECT * from <table>;
If run today the value should be:
30-APR-1997 00:00:00.00
... and that's what SQL itself inserts.
But RALLY inserts:
30-APR-1997 00:00:00.32
Oher times it is .95 or .27, but never .00.
To work around it do:
date.date1 := to_date(to_char(xxx,'dd-mon-yyyy'),'dd-mon-yyyy');
This chops off the time portion of the string.

I did a little more playing with this. It seems that the problem
is coming from the LAST_DAY function, which is documented as
returning only the date portion.

Just as a side note...
A quick way to get the 'last_day' and cut off the time component is:
xxx := last_day (trunc (system_date, 'DDD'));
I does take the time component completely down to zeroes.
