Re: Year end

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

From Al Macintyre, a programmer on 405cd & we do not have anything as 
complicated as you do.  However, a lot of our accounting is done on PC 
packages that draw their core data from BPCS.

Do you have sufficient disk space that you could copy to another environment 
the files with relevant data as of end-of-fiscal, before doing end-of-fiscal, 
so that they will then be available later for consolidation software?
