Forget logicals when you are talking about CEA500BN. Try looking at the TDR
files that CEA uses and never maintains/clears/purges. There is not good
documentation on this, but they need to be cleared somewhat manually. If you
have Mixed Mode, CALL OEAMNU and take option to Clear TDRs. Do this when no
one is using financials. It should be done weekly or in some cases daily.
These are the transaction files, and there is nothing that clears them
automatically except this option. The files are listed on OGS; I don't
remember them all, but if you search the database for "TDR" or "OEAMNU" I am
sure you can get a few hits on the subject.
