RE: Billing Invoice Process

["Rick J. Carter" <rickcarter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the purpose of the ZPD file in BPCS and does it cleared with some of 
the other period end files.  It looks like this file contains a tracking of 
what jobs are printed but what is it really for and can it be cleared 
weekly.

Rick,

TDRs are Transaction Data Records.  It's like journaling for the client
server sessions.  You can find most of them by doing a wrkobj (on your files
library)/zq*.
