Project: No International Dates with Plot Format Options PSS ID Number: Q70782 Article last modified on 04-08-1991 PSS database name: D_PRoject

4.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

The Plot Format command provides Duration, Start Date, and Finish Date options for fields to be included in a plotted Activity chart. Default selection is “no.” If you select “yes,” this information is plotted in columns following the activity description using the standard short US date format (mm/dd/yy). This is controlled by the Project PLOT.OVL file.

If you select “yes” for Plot Format, the Start Date and Finish Date fields will be in US short date format even if a non-US date format is selected through SETUP.EXE. The Date field (today’s date as read from the system clock) will display on a plotted chart as specified in SETUP.EXE, but the Start Date and Finish Date fields (if set to “yes”) will always display in US short date format.
