CAUSE

This issue can occur if the date and time format is incorrect in the Pcta.tbl files.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, be careful to format the time correctly. This issue is usually caused by too many, not enough, or no zeros after the last decimal point for the following entries:

lastextract=2000/04/25 23:30:52.03
updatesent=2000/04/25 23:30:52.41
updatereceived=1980/01/01 00:00:00.00
confirmreceived=1980/01/01 00:00:00.00
loadtimedate=1980/01/01 00:00:00.00
