Documentation

Use

At batch runtime, a calculation is made in which the entered numbers of days is subtracted from the current date. This produces the date for the start of the batch run.

Only those IDocs that were exchanged after the calculated date are included in the evaluation (and those that fulfill the further selection criteria).

Procedure

Examples

'005' or '010'
If the batch run takes place on 13 September, for example, the date from which the IDocs are considered for evaluation would be 8 September or 3 September.

Dependencies

The date that marks the start of the time period must be before the date marking the end of the period.
