Try running the extract again, using TECH.SCRT.PART2 as your input and see what dates you get. I think it MIGHT be giving you the beginning and ending dates of the data it found in the input report.

So, why does the report says the Start Date is 08/01/2014? And the end data is 8/10/24? I have specified a Start Date of 8/9/2014. Why does the End Date become 8/10/2014 and the end time is 00:00:00 when I have specified an end time of 14:00 and a End Date of 2014221 - 8/9/2014? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
