None.  I suggest you call Support.  I just tried this on a 5.1.3 system and
got the same result as before.
Looks like the internal parse of the date command is failing.
Have you changed the defaults for the date command or something like that?
What do you get when you type "date"?
I get " Thu Sep 13 09:33:03 EDT 2001"
Got a specialized locale setting?  What do you get when you type "locale" ?
I am just using "C" though "En_US" is also allowed.
That's all I can think of.
But it is not my area of expertise.

Subject:  Re: [NV-L] Create Map Snapshot



Still trying to work out why I can't create a map snapshot. nettl.LOG00
contains the following error:

ERROR: Unable to create directory
/usr/OV/databases/openview/mapdb/ODS_Customised_Display/130901.7/8/98M:
errno = 2

The timestamp is not of the form "ddmmyyyy.hhmms". Any ideas why ovw is
trying to use this irregular form?
