Issue/Introduction

When running the BASPGEN after updating the unit level p.PARMS(ZONE) member, the MICS LOG contains a BAS00446W warning message.  Is this of any concern?

BAS00446W >WARN> THE NAME FOR ZONE 9 HAS BEEN DEFINED AS "WEEKEND/HOLIDAY" AND "* NEW YEARS DAY".
                                      THE FORMER WILL BE USED. 

Environment

MICS Resource Management Release 14.4

Resolution

BAS00446W is just a warning and of no concern.
It occurs because of the Zone definitions in p.PARMS(ZONE) where a zone is repeated but the description is different.
The zone description is required on the first ZONE statement and is ignored on all others that follow for that same zone.

For ex.

ZONE 9 SAT SUN 00 23 1 'WEEKEND/HOLIDAY'
HOLIDAY 9 %% 01 01 00 23 +   * NEW YEARS DAY    

Results in the following warning:

BAS00446W >WARN> THE NAME FOR ZONE 9 HAS BEEN DEFINED AS "WEEKEND/HOLIDAY" AND "* NEW YEARS DAY".
                                      THE FORMER WILL BE USED. 

This warning is informing you that the description of the zone will be stored in the database as ‘WEEKEND/HOLIDAY’
