Subject: NLDN: pqact.conf for LDM

I put in the changes in my pqact.conf file several days ago to handle
the y2k issue. However, now I am having a hard time getting the hour
written in the filename for light (wxp5) to interpret properly.

Here is my old pqact.conf entries

# Store in separate 6-min files in yyjjjhhmm.nldn filename
NLDN   ^(9[3-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9])
       FILE    -close  /datt/wxpdata/nldn6/\1\2\3\4.nldn
# Store as hourly file in yyjjjhh.nldn filename
NLDN   ^(9[3-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9])
       FILE    -close  /datt/wxpdata/nldn6/\1\2\3.nldn

Here are my new ones (per Unidata advice on y2k):

# Store in separate 6-min files in YYYYjjjhhmm.nldn filename
NLDN   
^([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9])
        FILE    -close  /datt/wxpdata/nldn6/\1\2\3\4.nldn
# Store as hourly file in YYYYjjjhh.nldn filename
NLDN   
^([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9])([0-3][0-9][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])([0-5][0-9])
        FILE    -close  /datt/wxpdata/nldn/\1\2\3.nldn

Both new FILE entries leave off the hour information. The first one
leaves off the hh and just puts on the mm. The second just tags YYYYjjj
(e.g. 2000003.nldn)

Does anyone see the problem?

                               Jim
