I am new to APDL. I have just imported my August schedule as my first attempt to use APDL. Right away, I noticed that the importer seems to have calculated a rest violation where none actually seems to exist. Here is the Delta trip that I imported...

Please notice that the 5th of August contains two duty periods. The first starts at 0741a (1+00 report) with a flight SLC to LAX. I release 30 minutes later at 1015a in LAX. I go into rest before the evening redeye to MEM. Report for the evening flight is 10:45p (again 1+00 report).
So my computed rest should be 1045p - 1015a = 12+30 rest. APDL computes my rest as 0+00 and flags it as a FAR 117 violation.
I can't very easily upload a screenshot of the trip in APDL, but it shows the following duty periods:
Day 1 of 3 Rest 18+02
Report 05AUG Duty 0741-0358 21+17 <<=== NOTE this is an error as this seems to string the first 2 duty periods together.
FDP 0741-1055 (SLC) 3+04
WE 1414 739 SLC LAX 0841 0945 2+04 CA-PF Block
Credit 5+15 Block 2+04

Day 2 of 3 Rest 0+00 <<=== NOTE this is an error as it should be 12+15
Report 05AUG Duty 2245-0558 5+13
FDP 2345-0428 (SLC) 4+43
WE 2020 738 LAX MEM 2345 0528 3+43 CA-PF Block

...

So the data seems to import flight numbers, dates and times correctly, but it doesn't seem to recognize that two separate duty periods start on the same date (05 Aug).
As a side note, I had already updated my user preferences (settings) to reflect 1+00 report and 0+30 release, basically for all trips. I did this before importing my August rotations.
I would appreciate any help rectifying this problem. Thanks.
