Right upto version 8.1.2 of the Remedy Developer Studio, if we were to set a
character field extracting the minute of a DATE type field, this is how the
expression would look within the Expression Editor (please view in HTML or
Rich Text so you see the fonts with color)..

 

LPAD(MINUTE($Date$), 2, "00")

 

This sometimes makes you wonder if you had a typo somewhere in the
expression. The expectation would be to have it look like..

 

LPAD(MINUTE($Date$), 2, "00")

 

This was a bug with previous versions of the Developer Studios Expression
Editor too. I have not yet had a chance to see if this exists on version 9.
I had first noticed this in version 7.6.04 of the Remedy Developer Studio.

 

Despite the bug in how this appears within the Expression Editor, the AR
System evaluates the MINUTE() function as it should, so functionally, the
function is intact.

 

I just thought I would share this with you'll in case any of you'll wonder
if you'll have made a mistake in your expression while using the MINUTE()
function after noticing the color coding for it is off by a few million
colors :-).
