Greetings List!!

I'm experiencing difficulties with an escalation. We're using Remedy 6.3

I'm having difficulty determining why the correct criteria, when using the
specific date of 12/31/07 and running a Run If qualification in the
appropriate form, I receive 428 records, while when I us the dynamic date of
(DATE = (Expire DT - 15552000) and the exact same criteria otherwise, I
receive no results at all- the date is the only part of the criteria that is
changed.

Here is the troubleshooting I've done so far:

I have 2 similar escalations- one that is triggered approximately 9 months
(270 days or 23328000 seconds) prior to the value of a Date field, the other
that is triggered approximately 6 months (180 days or 15552000 seconds)
prior to the value of the same Date field. While there are other criteria
used, they are the same for both escalations.

When I copy my 9 month search criteria into the Form against which it runs,
I received 36 results. This corresponds to the emails that were sent this
morning when the 9 month escalation ran- so I know that the criteria itself
is correct.

When I replace the number of seconds used with that the 6 month criteria
(15552000), I receive no results.

On a test form, I setup 2 Date fields and a button. When the button is
pressed, it adds the number of seconds I have for each escalation to the
Date keyword, and displays the results.

The 9 month field produces a date of 3/31/08. This corresponds to the value
of the Date field of 36 accounts- each of these was issued an email this
morning when the escalation ran.

The 6 month field produces a date of 12/31/07. This corresponds to the value
of the Date field of 428 accounts. None of these accounts received any email
notices this morning.

I have even tried replacing the 15552000 with (60*60*24*180)- it still
failed.

Can you please help me to understand why the dynamic date figure is
preventing the escalation from being triggered?

Many thanks in advance!!!
