Calendar - All Day Event

For example, in the Calendar, All Day Event was created from 28th Apr 2009 to 29th Apr 2009.

Like to understand how is the following values derive :

AppendEndTime : 08:00 PM

AppendStartTime : 04:00 AM

dispDuration : 25 hours

dispDuration1 : 40 hours

EndDateTime : 4/29/2009 08:00 PM

StartDateTime : 4/28/2009 04:00 AM

Thought one day is 24 hrs, how come it start from 04:00 AM to 08:00 PM?

Basically I like to understand how it computes the values in each of the above.

Thank you.

This is the default time range for all “All Day Events”. It is not controlled in preferences (sorry) I have seen it hacked to show different hours, but you’d have to dig pretty deeply into the mail template to do so. .

Subject: Where to find more information

Check the C&S Schema doc here: IBM Developer

It says: NOTE: There is no Time component associated with All-Day Events. Start time (and the associated StartDateTime component) is always set to 04:00AM local time; the End time is set to 08:00 PM. Alarms that are set for All-Day Events will default to this time unless modified by the owner.

This document is being updated with more and newer information and should be republished shortly.

Thks for the info.

Like to know how to write lotus script to update a field into the Calendar All Day Event.

e.g. Field : DateList

Type : Text Editable

Allow Multiple Values

DateList : 05/06/9, 05/07/9, 05/08/9

I try the following 2 methods but is not working :

A) doc.mailCalendarDateTime = doc.DateList

B) doc.mailCalendarDateTime = Cdat(DateList)

Appreciate advice.

This is configured in the Tools - Preference - Calendar & ToDo - Display. This is where you set the start and end times of a ‘day’ and the duration of the time slot

This is a guess, but the times are probably the defaults for All Day meetings, and are the “best” compromise so that users in near-by time zones also see you are busy for the whole “work day”. (Your 24 hour day is different then other time zones.)

I’ve no idea about those duration values though.
