Execute G/L Recode/Merge (RM72)

The Execute G/L Recode/Merge (RM72) program recodes/merges GL Accounts previously entered in Enter G/L Accts for Recode/Merge (RM71). Once started, this program must run to completion.

Caution: This program should be run ALONE. Files throughout the system are affected.

Using RM72:

1. The Test option allows you to start the execution of the program but will not update any files.
   • Note: Various files are checked to ensure that all programs that involve GL Account information have completed processing. If any programs are currently running, a message displays that identifies the program(s) that must be completed prior to running RM72 in Test mode.

   As GL Account records are found, a Verification Selection window automatically opens:

   
   

   Select 1 of the following 3 options:

   • 1 Continue verifying this file - select this option to continue verifying each Customer recode/merge transaction as it comes up.

   • 2 Continue verifying this file without stopping at this question - select this option to continue verifying the file without stopping at the Verification Selection window.

   • 3 Start verifying the next file - select this option to verify the next file for the Customer recode/merge transaction.

   Once you make a selection on the Verification Selection window, click OK. When the Test is complete, RM72 automatically closes.

2. Click Start to start the GL Account recode/merge update. The update should run when no other processes are running. The re-coding and merging of customer information affects most of the applications in the computer system. As RM72 runs a progress bar displays to indicate which file are updating.
   Caution: Running RM72 while other programs are running can cause unpredictable damage to data. You may not be able to recover the damaged data.

   Note: Various files are checked to ensure that any programs that involve GL Account information have completed processing. If any programs are currently running, a message displays that identifies the program(s) that must be completed prior to running RM72 (in 'Start' mode).

3. To close RM72 when the process is complete, press Escape or click on the 'X' in the top right corner of the window.
