Currently, we have the ability to change due dates either for an entire course, or for individuals. Does anyone have a method of changing due dates by section or recitation?

I tried to modify profChangeDates, but got incomplete header errors.

Inside sub changeDatesAndHeaderFiles, I replaced the definition of @probSetKeys with:

foreach $loginName (@Students) {
my %loginList = &getAllSetNumbersForStudentLoginHash($loginName);
push(@probSetKeys,$loginList{$setNumber});
}
@Students was an array of login names for a given section. The code I used to generate that array has worked fine in other scripts, so I don't think the error is there.

Because we are now running multiple sections of a class in one course, the ability to change dates by group is very important to me. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Mark

The code looks ok to me. Can you describe the error message more completely? --Mike

I just found the error. I was triggering the bad permissions error message, so I moved the permissions check outside of the subroutine and things started working. My initial tests all look ok now. Thanks.
