Electronic Calendar

Explanation

The icon above invokes the electronic calendar. A date selected in this calendar is inserted into the appropriate field in the calling form on return to that form.

Example

In the Job Control and Scheduling subsystem, jobs are normally scheduled to run on specific dates. The correct dates can be selected using the electronic calendar, and automatically inserted into the schedule form.

To select a date using the electronic calendar:

Select the month, using the arrows to the left of the top field ('August 1998' in example) back a month forward a month. Select the year, using the arrows to the right of the top field ('August 1998' in example) back a year forward a year. Select the day by clicking on it in the calendar area (20th in example). Select the OK button to return to the form. (Select Cancel to return without inserting the date in the calling form.)

In the current month, today's date is underlined on the calendar.
