Hello

I have the following in elog.cfg :

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server, Subject ,  Change Window Begin , Change Window End
List display = ID,Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server,  Subject ,  Change Window Begin , Change Window End

Type Change Window Begin = datetime
Type Change Window End = datetime

So I want to be able to give a start and end date to the user.  However : If I open a find/Search I see this :

There are for each  Change Window <item>   we get  Start: and End: time entries. Was expecting only one date entrie .

Why is this ? Seems to be a feature of datetime  or am i missing something.

 

 

Right, that's a feature. Many people want to specify a range when doing a query on a date. Like Change Window Begin after Jan 1st, 2009 and before Jan 5th, 2009. If you just want a single date, set both Start: and End: to the same date, or actually the End: to Start+1 Day to cover all 24 hours of the Start: date. Otherwise when you have data + time, you would have to match the exact second to retrieve a certain entry. So having a range there is more powerful.
