DD - Day Differential

This Natural profile parameter is used to adjust the current machine date (as read by using the internal machine time) by adding/subtracting any number of days to/from it. This makes it possible to re-run an application that was to be run at a certain date but for some reason could not be run at that date.

The DD profile parameter is specified as follows:

DD=+nn

or

DD=-nn

where nn is the number of days.

Possible settings -32767 to +32767 Machine date is adjusted. Specification of the plus sign (+) is optional.
