DF_XXtime — Prepare timing summary files for other reports
DF_XXtime
{study}
[-x ]
DF_XXtime is the initialization program for other standard report programs including: DF_CTcrfs, DF_CTqcs, and DF_WFfaxes. Typically, DF_XXtime is not run by itself as it creates no report output. Its value is in the summary files that it creates in preparation for other reports to run.
DF_XXtime extracts creation and modification date/time stamps from
all primary and secondary data records from all user-defined plates (which excludes plate 501 and 511),
the fax log, and
new records not yet validated and calculates julian dates
and times which are written to summary files in the study WORKING_DIR
directory.
DF_XXtime also requires a complete and error-free sites database to execute
successfully. If DF_XXtime detects errors with DFcenters or any other files
on which it relies, it will abort and an error message will be printed
to make it clear that the and DFX_dfin summary files described
below cannot be updated.
The summary files that are created by DF_XXtime are:
See Programmer Guide, DFX_time1 - date and time from fax-in to last modification for details of the file format and contents.
DFX_dfin.
This file contains one record for each fax which has been received
but not yet been validated.
DF_XXtime will also run DF_XXkeys to rebuild if the
database has been modified since the last execution of DF_XXkeys.
This step can be skipped by including -x, in which case
the current version of , produced by the last execution
of DF_XXkeys, will be used.
