Before starting, run these financial reports: Balance Sheet/Income and Expense Statement (for later comparison.) Also, be sure to get at least one good file save before doing this procedure.  It is often better to do this procedure at night with everyone off the system, after you have had a good file save.

Warning. If you are on a distributed environment at this location then call Perfection Software.  Also, make absolutely sure you are not changing or posting anything to General Ledger while doing any of this procedure.

1. You need to backup 3 files manually before continuing.  Go to the Main Menu and type in TCL and hit <ENTER>.  At the colon type in LF LEDGER and hit <ENTER>.  Note the MOD number to the right (there will be two of them, you are concerned with the one on the right.)  Type in:

CREATE-FILE LEDGER.12.12.00 1 XXX

(where XXX is the MOD number and the date is the current system date).  This creates a file to copy the Ledger file into.

Then Type:

COPY LEDGER and hit <ENTER>.

It will then go to a prompt that says        to:

You will type in (LEDGER.12.12.00 and hit <ENTER> (Do not forget the parenthesis)

Repeat this process of finding the MOD number, creating the file, and copying it for LEDGER, ACCOUNT and JOURNAL.  Depending on the size of the file, the copying could take a minute or two.

Warning. If on distributed at this location the CALLX CAPTURE.CHANGES entry in UD DICT ACCOUNT ACCOUNT MUST be taken out or this process will run very, very slow. Go down to the correlative line with your <ENTER> key  and them hit CTRL-G to move to the end of the line.  Then use your backspace key to delete this line out and then hit CNTRL-XF to file the item. 

Make sure you are not changing or posting anything to general ledger while doing any of this procedure.

2. Next, clear the data from the LEDGER file. Type in CLEAR-FILE LEDGER

3. Warning: Do not initialize any other options in the following menu other than the one instructed.  The user assumes all liabilities for erasing any of their data. Next, at the colon type in DEV and hit <ENTER>.  Go into #8 which is to initialize the system programs.  The password is PM.  Initialize the GL ACCOUNT file in the DEV menu (#3 only).  When this is done, hit the ESC key to go back to a colon. 

4. From the colon in TCL type in SHL REPOST.JOURNAL and hit <ENTER>.

5.  When this is finished, type in M and <ENTER> to get back to the Main Menu.

6. Run the financial reports again to verify if the problem was fixed, or if any numbers changed that should not have changed.
