SMS: PCM Does Not Run Mandatory Jobs in Date/Time Order

SYMPTOMS

When several mandatory jobs are queued up and due at a certain time (for example, at 9:30 A.M.) and a user logs on to the Windows NT Workstation computer at a later time (suppose 9:45 A.M.), PCMWIN32 runs the jobs correctly, but it does not take the jobs in order of mandatory time. The same behavior affects PCMSVC32 when a server or a workstation is turned on after the mandatory date and time.

All versions of the Package Command Manager (PCM, which includes PCMDOS, PCMWIN16, PCMWIN32, and PCMSVC32) are affected.
