Re: IFM Financial Division Currency

I cannot help you much on this one I am afraid, I never needed to dive into
ECCA sources.
Normally MAPICS always uses the same function (something like AXZX40) to
retrieve exchange rates at a given date (= one of the parameters).  Maybe
ECCA has "overridden your override " by calling it after your program?
I am not much into IFM but I can imagine if you are abso sure you only have
problem with 1 file and only during the conversion: post process this one
file.  Some support input on "how dangerous is this?" you would have to get
from somebody else I am afraid. You should take care not to create a corrupt
or erroneous database if you modify anything.

Kind regards,


Kris
