Re: GLD541 - shows "Journal header" already exists

We are on BPCS CD and this problem also occurs in this version if GLD540
subsystem post is run while someone else is in a program which is creating
journals (e.g. ACR500 or ACP500). The journals that are being created are
posted even if the journal is not complete. When completed, the remainder
of the journal can not be posted as the journal number already exists.

GLD540 does not perform any check to ensure that journals are not being
created by another user.

This happed to us on a couple of occasions and was fixed by changing the
journal number in GJW. It just so happened that there was either an 0 or 1
in the journal numbers which we changead to O or I.

Subject:    GLD541 - shows "Journal header" already exists



I am an experienced AS400 analyst (PRMS is my heritage) but new to
BPCS.  We are Version 4.0 Release 03

One of the users brought me a problem with an AR batch which won't post
to GL because of a duplicate journal ID.  She tells me that this has
happened from time to time when two folks post to AR at the same time,
and that my predecessor fixed it by renaming the journal.

Makes sense to me, but I am not sure where to do the adjustment.  It
appears that making the change to the relevant entries in GJW and RAR
should do it, but I do not want to get bitten.

Any help that you all can offer would be most appreciated!
