MSIR.0394 RELATEd fields have different (info) in (type) date formats

This message indicates that a SIRFIELD RELATE command was issued, and that the command could not succeed because the two fields have incompatible date formats.

• info can be:

  I and * tokens

  This indicates that they have incompatible "wildcard" tokens. Formats must have the same number of I tokens; if either contains the * token, then the other one must as well.

  precision

  This indicates that they do not specify the same units of time. For example, you cannot relate a field with format YYYY/MM/DD HH:MI:SS to a field with format YY/MM/DD, because the precision of the one is seconds but the precision of the other is days.

• type is one of the following:

  primary

  The incompatible formats were specified on the SIRFIELD FORMAT command.

  error

  The incompatible formats were specified on the ERROR clause of the SIRFIELD RELATE command

  alternate

  The incompatible formats were specified on the ALTERNATES clause of the SIRFIELD RELATE command

The command is rejected.
