Hi all. I have just finished exporting quite a large gINT project to AGS (all fine, no errors picked up by the AGS checker) Upon opening the AGS file to do a quick visual chec, I came acros the PTIM table and noticed that the PTIM_DATE and PTIM_TIME columns have incorrect units assigned to them. PTIM_DATE units should be dd/mm/yyyy and PTIM_TIME units should be hhmm, yet in my exported AGS file they are both dd/mm/yyyy hhmmss:-
"**PTIM""*HOLE_ID","*PTIM_DATE","*PTIM_TIME","*PTIM_DEP","*PTIM_CAS","*PTIM_WAT","*PTIM_REM""<UNITS>","dd/mm/yyyy hhmmss","dd/mm/yyyy hhmmss","m","m","m",""
This is wrong on a number of counts... Firstly, in the target File in my correspondence file the PTIM table looks like this:-
"**PTIM""*HOLE_ID","*PTIM_DATE","*PTIM_TIME","*PTIM_DEP","*PTIM_CAS","*PTIM_WAT","*PTIM_REM""<UNITS>","dd/mm/yyyy","hhmm","m","m","m",""
As you can see, the 2 fields have the correct units, so why is gINT changing (or disregarding) these units when compiling the AGS file? I have formatted the individual field entries in the correspondence file (<<Format(<<PTIM.DateTime>>,dd/mm/yyyy)>> & <<Format(<<PTIM.DateTime>>,hhmm)>>) so gINT is exporting the data correctly so that part isn't a problem.
It appears that gINT is using the Source File units (as it has to take the 2 target field contents from the same source field) to "unit" the 2 Target fields, as in my Target file, the PTIM_DateTime field has units of dd/mm/yyyy hhmmss. Any idea as to why gINT is doing this?
Also, why isn't this being picked up by the AGS checker as the units aren't right for the AGS structure?
