    Why AM11200?

    One of the features of AM11200 is to generate daily data files that facilitate to the creation of AM11409 report. Since AM11409 report is crucial for daily auto reconciliation, and since AM11200 is a focal point in the existence of this report, AM11200 will be modified to create a similar data file which will eventually be updated into the DMSII datasets.

    Objective for Revision

    The revision objective is to create a new data output file known as AUTOREC11200. This file should consist of summarized total for each transaction code(debit or credit) with a unique Entry Type description. When completed, the AUTOREC11200 file will be updated daily to the BATCH-TOTAL dataset in the FIN database. This dataset will eventually facilitate to the daily automated auto reconciliation process.

    Modification Details

    The criteria for AUTOREC11200 data file should be the same as the criteria for creating output file for rpt-02. However, the daily-report logic writes each transaction-code entry to the daily-report output file, whereas, the AUTOREC11200 data file requires summarized total of debit or credit amount for each Transaction Code. Therefore, the program should follow the flow of daily-report, accumulate the debit and credit amounts in a bucket and write out detail only when transaction-code changes.

    The program has a feature that implement the control break feature as the transaction code changes. A perform statement could be written within this loop to accumulate the data required for AUTOREC11200.

    Extra codes should be written to detect transaction code type and match it with a related Entry-Type description. The Entry-Type should be unique within the following set of keys :

  • Biennium-Ind
  • Accounting-Month
  • Process-Date
  • Run-Number
  • Transaction-Code
  • Entry-Type
