Re: Checking GUI CEA -- BPCS-L

i'm not a total expert, but it's Friday afternoon, and writing this reply is 
better than other alternatives.

i believe the g/l data gets written to the GHH and GLH when it is posted. GJW 
was a 'holding file' for batch subsystems to put their journals into. under CEA 
most posting is interactive and it goes into GHH and GLH. 

GSB is the equivalent of GGM but there are some differences. i believe that GSB 
only holds period activity as opposed to ytd balances. and of course the most 
major difference in GSB, GHH, GLH, and probably many other files is that they 
all use the internal account number. this is simply a sequential number that is 
assigned as a new GSB record is created. you cannot tell anything about the 
account from this internal account number. you need to take the internal 
account number and match it to the CGR file to get your external account number 
that you are used to using. if you ever want to see some information about an 
account, you need to take your external account number and use it to access the 
CGR record. from this get the internal account number and then use it to access 
the GSB, GHH, and GLH files.

Wow!

That was excellent. Yes, I could use even more info, but I don't wish to
bore the group with my problem. If you have the time and energy, please send
any additional info to:

artprc1@home.com 

With regards to your point#2, where I was going with this was in older BPCS
I could see records hitting the GJW file and I could check their value. If
they were posted already I could check GJH and GJD for the journals, and GGM
for accounts. What files do I look at now in GUI CEA? I'm assuming the
intermediate step of GJW no longer exists, so I need the equivalent of
GJH/GJD, which from a prior email seems to be the GLR and GLH files and for
GGM is GSB???

Thanks again for your detailed response, in the case of a novice like me,
the more info the better!!!

Dumb question: green screen BPCS has help documents I can download to my PC
and read in Word. Does GUI CEA have the same? Can't seem to find any docs on
it anywhere, which is really frustrating as some of the stuff I need to fix
I need to fix by Tuesday and without any Docs..sigh....
