START
START [date [time] ]
[TODAY [-days] [time]]
Use the START command to set a starting date and time for the SCAN
function. The default starting date is the date of the earliest record
of any type in the log file.
The date format depends on the native language configured on the HP 3000
system being used. If you do not use Native Languages or have set
the default language (NATIVE-3000), the date format is mm/dd/yy
(month/day/year) such as 02/28/88 for February 28, 1988.
The time format also depends on the native language being used. For
NATIVE-3000 the format is hh:mm AM or hh:mm PM (hour:minute in 12-hour
format with the AM/PM suffix) such as 07:00 AM as 7 o'clock in the
morning.
NOTE If you are not sure whether NLS is installed on your system, you
can force UTILITY to use the NATIVE-3000 date and time formats by
issuing the following statement before running UTILITY:
:SETJCW NLUSERLANG=0
If the date or time is entered in an unacceptable format, you are
prompted with an example in the correct format.
If no start time is given, midnight (12:00 AM) is assumed. A starting
time of midnight for a given day starts at the beginning of that day
(00:00 on a 24-hour clock).
The keyword TODAY may be used to represent the current date. TODAY-days
specifies the number of days prior to today's date. For example, TODAY-1
indicates yesterday's date.
