Inputter and Authoriser date time

Hi,

Is there any way I can identify the Date and Time when an FT is inputted and authorised? Actually I want to know when (i.e., the time) an FT is inputted and when the same is authorised.

not sure, and never used it, but i heard the protocal file in t24 records all the modifications of a record. worth look into

Why cant you use the audit fields ? i think you can get the time and date from audit field itself

Hi,

From the audit field, I found one date time. But I do need the date time for both the time, i.e., the time of inputting the record as well as the time of authorising the record.

In the protocol file, if I search by the FT number I only found one record. Therefore I can get only 1 time.

You can do two things:

First, if you set DATE.TIME.MV to YES in SPF, INPUTTER and DATE.TIME will be updated in the records for each modification. Be careful though, they will become multivalue, so you may need to revise your local code that uses them.

Second, you can create subroutine like this:

SUBROUTINE VER.AUTH.RTN
$INSERT I_COMMON
$INSERT I_EQUATE
CALL PRO("TRANSACTION.COMMIT")
RETURN
END

Create an EB.API record for it and VERSION.CONTROL record with ID as SYSTEM and put VER.AUTH.RTN as authorization routine in AUTH.RTN.

Similarly, create a subroutine like the above which would call CALL PRO("TRANSACTION.INPUT") instead and define it in the VERSION.CONTROL record SYSTEM as input routine.

After this, for all versions PROTOCOL will get updated in the remark field and you can use that information.

Hi Chris,

Thanks a lot. We are exploring both the solutions. We have found around 90 enquiries that are showing Inputter and/or Authoriser in the result. We do also find around 20 local routines that use Inputter and/or Authoriser in the selection statements. Therefore, we are concentrating on the second solution. Once finished, I will update the result accordingly.

Hi Chris,

The second solution works fine.

Hi Chris,

Both the solution works fine. We followed the second solution in our system.

See the Audit fields of that particular FT record.
