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
Get everyone off the system before running this program. This program can take a long time to run, so it is best run after hours when no one is using the system.
Read the information on the screen, then enter Y to begin processing.
