Files required to report local dates and times

A report format created with the Crystal Reports Designer can include calls to user-defined functions that are defined in certain DLL files.

Rational® ClearQuest® installs the file u2lcrratl.dll, which implements the user-defined function RATL_LocalDateTime. This function displays dates and times in local time instead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

When Rational ClearQuest software is installed, the file u2lcrratl.dll is created in the directory C:\WINDOWS\Crystal. If you want to run a report that includes the local date and time user function from a Rational ClearQuest Web client, you must copy the file from the system that runs Rational ClearQuest software to the directory C:\WINDOWS\system32 on the system that runs Crystal Reports Server XI. You might also need to copy additional files, depending on your configuration.

If you run a report that specifies local time and dates without this file from a Rational ClearQuest Web client, the following error message is displayed:

UFL 'u2lcrratl' that implements this function is missing.
Error in formula.'RATL_LocalDateTime ({ClearQuest.date_time1})' UFL 'u2lcrratl'
that implements this function is missing.
