Hour Glass should let a user know the date/time request is invalid.

Hour Glass does not let a user know that they submitted an invalid date/time request.

All we need if for Hour Glass development to issue at minimum an informational message in the JCL job/CICS region...etc that the date/time request submitted is invalid.

That is all. We do not need the message to get into specifics, just a message saying "There is an invalid Hour Glass request being made"...something like that is fine.

    This requirement has been re-assessed. It is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
