RFCHKR00 - Lengthen Check Numbers for Account &0.. &1... &2...

Description

The program changes the length of the check numbers of a bank account by filling the check number with zeros until the required new length is reached via the corresponding parameter.

Output

Both the check lots and the check information are changed. If required, you can request a detailed log which lists each data change.

Important notes

1. If check information is already to have been archived, then it is advisable to reload those archive datasets which are still to be used and to be archived again after conversion. Archive datasets which are not reloaded before the conversion are not converted and can therefore no longer be evaluated by the system.
2. Before the check numbers are lengthened, you should check as to the format in which the check numbers are needed by the bank. Since you cannot reverse the process of lengthening the check numbers, you must make sure that functions such as cashed checks and check extract (positive payment file) are not restricted by changing the length.
3. In the case of larger datasets, you should run the program using background processing.
4. In order to make a restart possible, you should specify the old length of the check numbers: the value to be specified via the parameter is compared with the length of the check numbers read so that check numbers which have already been lengthened are not changed again.
