Subject: FIX DATE SELECTION FOR DAYS OF STOCK ON HAND REPORT

Category: 
  - Routine

Description:
============

 This patch will correct the date routine used in 3 reports:
 - Days of Stock on Hand Report [PRCP DAYS STOCK ON HAND REPORT]
 - Cost Trend Analysis Report   [PRCP COST TREND ANALYSIS]
 - Usage Demand Item Report     [PRCP USAGE DEMAND ITEM REPORT]
  
 The first problem addressed is caused when the user inputs the same date for
 the start date and end date.  When the start date is subtracted from the end
 date, the result is zero, causing a divide by zero error.
  
 The second problem is caused when the user enters a date in month-day-year
 format since the program is expecting it in month-year format.  This again
 causes a problem when the start date is subtracted from the end date.

 REMEDY OVERVIEW:
 ==============
 1. HD55302     mumps code - perform division by zero
    
    Problem:
    --------           
    When selecting the date range for the Days of Stock on Hand Report, if
    the user entered the same date for the start date and for the end date,
    the date range algorithm computed that as zero days.  When the program
    tried to perform a calculation using zero, it created a divide by zero
    error.
    
    Resolution:
    ----------- 
    This patch changes the way the date range selection works such that a
    zero number of days can no longer be selected.
    
  
 2. HD55315     'Day of Stock on Hand rpt' shows wrong number of days
    
    Problem:
    --------           
    When the user selected an ending date, using the month-day-year format,
    and the date was in the current month, the number of days calculated
    was different from what they expected.  The miscalculation was due to
    the expectation by the program code that the dates would be in a 
    month/year format.  If the user specified specific days within the 
    month as the starting and ending dates it threw off the calculation.
    One other problem has been that the number of days was computed by
    subtracting the start date from the end date.  This left the number of
    days one day less than expected.  For example, the date range 3/1/05 to
    3/31/05 resulted in 31 - 1 = 30 days.  
    
    Resolution:
    ----------- 
    The date selection has been modified to restrict date selection to the
    month-year format, eliminating the date calculation errors.
