PROTECT
If you have selected timer support through the system generation process, but have
not selected automatic end-of-month date advancement, make sure that you set the
date at the beginning of each month with the DATE command. If you fail to set the
date at the beginning of each month, the system prints -BAD- in the creation date
column of each file created beyond the end-of-month. (Note that you can eliminate
-BAD- by using the RENAME/SETDATE command after you set the date.)
