We applied PCM5118 along with the two previous PCM's a week and a half 
ago, we were a little behind.  I immediately followed it up with a large 
number of relevant PTF's before returning the system to production.

We did not encounter the error that you listed, but we still had a couple 
of minor issues that required one or more additional PTF's to resolve. 
Just make sure you check the "MAPICS E-Info" newsletters dated after the 
PCM and check for any critical issues in the modules that you use.

On the upside, in the several PCM's that we applied, we now have access to 
the improved MAPICS backup routine.  This allowed us to completely do away 
with our existing customized backup procedures.  We've been using the new 
MAPICS backup for a week now, and it works exactly the way I thought it 
should have worked from the beginning.

Hope that helps.
