| Description | A user reported this error: Perforce error: Error in job specification. Error detected at line 18. Invalid date '1970/01/01 00:30:00'. This is mysterious because this date is valid in Perforce. |
| Analysis | I created a Perforce job with the value '1970/01/01 00:300:00' in a date field. There was no problem reading or writing this field with this value. |
