PDF index document with no date.

[B.Rivers]

How do I add A PDF doc that has no date in the document?  Index parms below. I tried to add a default value for the date of (t) today but errors with ARS1130E 1 fields submitted by the indexer, 2 expected.  I is OK to define a reports without a date as the index value and no segment

COORDINATES=IN
TRIGGER1=UL(2.65,1.67),LR(3.17,1.85),*,'XXX-',(TYPE=GROUP)
FIELD1=UL(0.63,2.36),LR(3.46,2.54),0,(TRIGGER=1,BASE=0)
INDEX1='INDEX_1',FIELD1,(TYPE=GROUP)
INDEXSTARTBY=1
RESTYPE=ALL

I'd be asking the source of the documents to put in a date field.  The great thing about PDFs is that you can 'sneak' index information into the document by putting the text in a corner of the document with a very small font, and specify it's colour to be the same as the background (i.e. white) and it will be invisible to the user, and won't print on documents.

As for the error, that's odd, and I'd be reporting that as a bug to IBM.  Missing values from an indexer should be a warning (at most) if there are default values assigned in the Application definition.

Default value is a space

Well, a space character isn't a valid date, so I would expect that to fail...

Sorry default for date was a lower case t.
