PLB_CLOCKUSEIP Keyword

PLBWIN, PLBCE, or PLBLinux

PLB_CLOCKUSEIP={value}

This keyword specifies that a CLOCK statement should logon on to a Sunbelt Data Manager specified by {ip adr} to retrieve the time and date information. Use of this keyword will redirect all CLOCK operations to the data manager. If an error occurs when accessing the data manager, the time and date from the local workstation is used.

Note:

A CLOCK statement will alter the LESS flag when the PLB_CLOCKUSEIP keyword is set. The LESS flag will be set FALSE if the CLOCK time and date information was accessed from the data manager. The LESS flag is set TRUE if an error occurred accessing the time and date from the data manager and the client's time and date were used instead.
Be aware that if the PLB_CLOCKUSEIP keyword specifies an invalid {ip adr} or the data manager is not currently running, any CLOCK statement will set the LESS flag to TRUE. Also, note that the CLOCK operation will execute slower than normal due to TCP/IP error delays.
