Version 8.2.8 - maybe I'm not understanding this. Although I should only be getting files with DateModified attribute greater than Job LastExited, I am getting all files regardless of date in both Test and in run task. I only want new files. What simple thing am I missing? 😲 TIA!

Just a quick thought, but I know when I do Date comparisons to filter for file type jobs, I always try to remove the hours, minutes, and Seconds....

So I have used:

{Job(Active,LastExited,M/d/yyyy)}

Instead of:

{Job(Active,LastExited,M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss.ff tt)}

Also....
When did the Job last exit? do you want to queue off task instead of Job? or maybe you need Direct ID of object to reference.

Thanks, but removing the hour, minutes, and seconds did not make a difference, I'm afraid. The job last exited just a bit before and it reflected in the selection dialog box as seen in the photo attached to original post. So, it seems to know what date to use, but it doesn't!?

You should turn on Extended debugging in Server settings->Log. Then run it and you will see the exact date that the Variable value translates to in the log file log_serverDATE.txt. Start from there and let us know if you find anything strange.

Excellent suggestion - thank you!
My problem seems to stem from an API error resulting from my (mis?)use of {JOB(Active,LastExited,M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss.ff tt)}

9/5/2017 12:27:32 PM Err API->"[Error in SetVariables, string: {JOB(Active,LastExited,M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss.ff tt)}, err: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]"
9/5/2017 12:27:32 PM Debug DateCheck (\\cmfs01\Users\Shared\PRGTickets\720\Partner.720387622.1504274536.001.pdf), dteNewerThan: 0001-01-01 00:00:00, fi.LastWriteTime: 2017-09-01 09:14:27, fi.LastWriteTime.ToLocalTime: 2017-09-01 09:14:27
... etc.

Can you export this specific Job and attach it here?

I cannot directly reproduce it because the format is not the same on my computer. But when adding it again, from the Variables browser, with my format it works.

Please try this build as well as we made some minor changes:
