APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a MIF Processing Rule is invoked by an Event Listener to
  copy a NULL value from a persistent field defined as DATETIME to
  a non-persistent field defined as DATETIME, Maximo throws the
  exception "BMXAA4143E - The date format is not valid. Use the
  date format defined by your locale, or use the calendar control
  to enter a date.When the non-persistent field is changed to type
  ALN, the error no longer occurs.
  
  To reproduce the behavior:
  1.	Create a non-persistent field on WORKORDER defined as
  DATETIME which is the SAMEAS a persistent field on WORKORDER
  that is also DATETIME.
  2.	Create an Object Structure with MBO WORKORDER that includes
  both the persistent and non-persistent DATETIME fields.
  3.	Create a Publish Channel with the previously created Object
  Structure.
  4.	Add a Processing Rule to the Publish Channel with a SET
  action that copies the value from the persistent DATETIME field
  to the non-persistent DATETIME field.
  5.	Create an External System with the previously created Publish
  Channel.
  6.	Create/Update a WORKORDER record and ensure that the
  persistent DATETIME field contains a NULL value.
  
  7.	The create/update should generate the error specified in
  this case.
