The CPM Procedure

Overview

Enhancements have been added to the CPM procedure as follows:

The SETFINISHMILESTONE option has been added to the CPM procedure statement to enable you to specify that milestones (zero duration activities) should have the same start and finish times as the finish time of their predecessor. In other words, this option enables milestones that mark the end of the preceding activity to coincide with its finish time.
The FIXASTART option has been added to the ACTUAL statement to enable you to request that the actual start and finish times of an activity should be left unchanged even if they coincide with a non-working time. Thus, if the actual start time is specified to be sometime on Sunday, it is left unchanged even if Sunday is a non-working day in the activity's calendar.
