30 Sep 2002
30 Oct 2002
30 Nov 2002
Assuming you change 30 Oct 2002 to 02 Dec 2002 and 30 Nov 2002 to 10 Jan 2003. The new date for 30 Oct 2002 is past the date for the following original period: 30 Nov 2002. In this scenario, the Align Time-phased Dates process will not continue and Cobra will display a list of invalid dates in the log.
