CSL Considerations with the CMS Pipelines Runtime Library Distribution

In order to function fully, the "dateconvert" stage included in the CMS Pipelines runtime library distribution requires a level of the Callable Services Library DateTimeSubtract routine that is newer than the one distributed with CMS 13. (With this newer version of DateTimeSubtract, "dateconvert" functions correctly on CMS 9 and later.)

This newer version of DateTimeSubtract is contained in the DMSDTS CSLLIB (packed) and DMSDTS TEXT included in the runtime distribution. The "dateconvert" stage will use DMSDTS CSLLIB if you issue the command:

RTNLOAD * ( FROM DMSDTS SYSTEM

Princeton has replaced the CMS 13 DMSDTS TEXT with the one from this runtime distribution and has found that "dateconvert" functions correctly without requiring the RTNLOAD command. This, however, is a local modification and, as such, is not supported. (The build lists are DMSBLVMT and DMSBLVML.)
