That's not "formatted". It should be properly indented or nested if you prefer, like lint or a pretty printer for XML would do.

Question marks are a wonderful thing.

Excellent!

Show us every step... and you don't need to convert things twice. Heck, if you were successful in converting to 24 hour strings then (as I said) you can compare them directly.

You can guide yourself. An exact search for that error will reveal a bazillion conversations on the topic.

If you have any control over the format of the timestamp from the source, make sure it is in military time. Strings just like you posted in 24 hour time will compare just fine.

So... all of these issues are what you are seeing after you made the noted changes?

There are no "message handlers" for Sequence jobs, if that is what you are looking for. One option is to turn off the "automatically handle" compilation option as that is what is aborting the sequence - it handles all non-zero return codes as failure. However, if you handle the f...

The only "common variables" in a job are job parameters. So, sequence jobs are not allowed? The restrictions organizations put on their projects never cease to amaze me. [shakes head] :? What mechanism are you using to schedule your jobs? Do you have any facility there to build and pass in...

Actually, you should be able to help yourself. Do an exact search of the forums for "ParamValue/Limitvalue is not appropriate" and you'll find this has been discussed many times.

For 8.x you need to add the -domain option to the command from what I recall.

Didn't say that. I for one have no idea what problems, if any, you may or may not see doing that.
