Month-end schedule question

A monthly schedule on day 28 will run every month, regardless of the number of days in the month. So, apparently will a schedule on day 31. The Admin and Config Guide states that:
QuoteEntering 31 as the day ensures that the entry runs on the last day of the month,
regardless of how many days are in the month.

But does anybody know what will happen in February to a schedule on day 30?

Thx
Michael

I can't say for sure, but my guess would be it would run on 28th (29th in a leap year).

Should anybody be remotely interested, after my first post and out of curiosity I set up a schedule for "30th Feb".

And what certain people predicted

duly came to pass :)  The schedule ran on 28th Feb.

IMHO the Admin and Config Guide could include info for a schedule on the 30th with respect to the month of February, but it's not a big deal.

Ah! My muppety clairvoyance proved trustworthy after all :)

Thanks for the update - it might be just what someone else needs in some future year in early February :)
