UT-K-I  Fix Binary Zeroes

Purpose of Program

This utility program will automatically remove binary zeroes that may be creating posting problems in various areas, including the posting of sales orders, receiving purchase orders, processing payroll checks, etc.

Binary zeroes most commonly can creep into department and Location codes and, because binary zeroes are not the same as a space character (even though on screen or via Maintain Database you cannot tell the difference), General Ledger accounts may not be found, creating posting amounts that go to the Clearing Account or worse.

General Program Operation

The program will present a list of the data files in the current company.  Select the ones that you want to process by clicking the check box to tag them and click Process Tagged.  If the program runs into a record lock because another user has a record in a file open, there is no harm in stopping and running it again but to avoid record locks it is advised to run this when other users are not in the system.
