DAY

Two numbers in the format HHMM,HHMM.

The default is 0000,2359.

The first number represents the time of day to start the report; the second number is the time of day to end the report; for example, if you want to report only on workdays from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., enter 0800,1700.

If you specify DAY, you must also specify one or more of the following keywords:

  • START

  • LASTHRS

WEEK

MONTH
