CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur if the date and time format is incorrect in the Pcta.tbl
files.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, be careful to format the time correctly. This issue is
usually caused by too many, not enough, or no zeros after the last decimal point
for the following entries:

  lastextract=2000/04/25 23:30:52.03
  updatesent=2000/04/25 23:30:52.41
  updatereceived=1980/01/01 00:00:00.00
  confirmreceived=1980/01/01 00:00:00.00
  loadtimedate=1980/01/01 00:00:00.00
