RE: RRN Processing

[Jeff_Klipa/Harvard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We have a problem with this file (PMPWC) not getting cleared when a 3-way
match session fails...
This file is a work file and it MUST ABSOLUTELY be cleared every night so
that the next time a user attempts the 3-way match option it will pull up
the correct records from the file PMP09...  (Specifically Advice Notes)

This is the strangest and most vulnerable piece of program logic I've seen
yet in this package...  This file (PMPWC) actually stores RRNs from PMP09
and expects those records to be there when the user tries to access them
via the RRN...  The problem comes when you've had a failed 3-way match
session and you've got records stuck in PMPWC, while in the meantime your
automatic REORG program has done a reorg over PMP09...  Now you've got
problems that can only be cured by clearing PMPWC...  But you have to be
sure to not clear the "good" records that someone might be using
presently...  We clear this file every night in the night job...!!!
According to the JBA support desk they say this file should always be empty
when not actively being used...

Thank you.

Yes.  Application "PM" (Purchase Management).  A specific example would be
work file PMPWC, utilized in an accounts payable (application "PL") 3-way
match.  Field FRRNWC holds the relative record number that links the PMP09
file.
