Date range matching broken again?
Posted: Wed Jul 30, 2008 4:58 pm
Hi,
We seemed to be on top of things with 5.4 and had managed to send out a couple of mailings, but having 'upgraded' to 5.5.0, target groups and mailings based on date ranges seem to be broken again - for example, I have a database of around 80000 animals with date ranges from 1999 to the current day, but if I create a target group of 'vacdate = 200805 YYYYMM' and then instruct that these records should be deleted, I am told 'o' records will be deleted - but there are hundreds within that criteria.
We have also tried to use a pre-existing target group that should mail clients with date ranges where 'vacdate' = 200808 YYYYMM or 'vacdate2' = 200808 YYYYMM - but this selects or creates a mailing list with 0 entries where there should be several thousand.
Looking into this, if I use a date range of > 20080731 and < 20080901 things seem to work OK so it looks like YYYYMM (ie no day) matching is broken.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
