Impatient Child?

I have a "wait" in the failure steps of a child. The step is set to wait until 2099

<step action='Wait' type='2'>
<Criteria>01/01/2099</Criteria>
<WaitFor type='3'>1</WaitFor>
<name>Hold</name>
</step>

When I schedule this project to run during my nightly build, the wait step completes saying that the time/date has been reached.

Am I missing something or is the child just getting impatient and moving on?

All comments welcome.

Not sure why you'd want to wait that long, but when using Wait Until 'The given time or date/time' option, the Wait action calculates the difference in milliseconds between the current time and the specified date/time. The value is stored in a DWORD (unsigned 4 byte integer), so the date you enter must be within about 4 billion milliseconds of the current time, which works out to about 8 years in the future. If you specify a date beyond that, the wait amount will get truncated.

You have amazing response time.

I changed my wait to 999 hours and I will try that tonight.
It just seemed odd that the wait finishes during the night.

thanks,

Brian
