Hello!
Quick question regarding serial masks. I have a serial mask that is supposed to print the 2-digit year and 6 numbers after. However, the 2-digit year is not updating for the new year. How do I update this, is it based on a Calendar?
Thanks!

What does the Mask look like in Serial Mask Maintenance?
Edit: Everything I originally wrote here was WRONG and I need to read more documentation.
Since V8, I have used date logic. From the help:
I’m with Ken, what does the mask look like? Was it hardcoded or did it use the substitution characters?
Neat. Didn’t know that. I hope to never use it.
One thing to note: don’t expect the counter to roll over at period changes! It just keeps on going…
It looks like ######
So, someone didn’t use the placeholder and just started the counter at 2300001.
Try changing it to:
<YY>#####
Again, note that the counter will NOT reset to 1 and it won’t (at least didn’t) let us roll it back manually.
Thanks for the fix!
