RE: Large journal entries failing

["Peralta, David" <PeraltD2@xxxxxx>]

We had an excel model to upload large journals from a spreadsheet - much
easier to key in and correct!  The model ftp's a text file up and there is a
custom option inserted on menu GLJ to post it.  I think this tweaks some
standard functionality but I don't know the details.

Regards,

David Peralta
