Feature - Handle Sales History Trx Edit List by Location/Item When CP3HS999 is Reached

Release Date: 10/24/2022
Version: 8.5 & Up

It has been reported that COP -> Processing -> Sales History Trx Processing -> Report -> Loc/Item List may lock up if work file CP3HS999.BTR is reached.  See sample screen:


In Elliott, we delete this work file after we are done with printing the loc/item list.  It only becomes a problem if NTFS security is implemented for the corresponding DATA folder and the user is not an admin equivalent user. In that case, the system will not be able to delete the CP3HS???.BTR work file when it is done with the printing. Hence the CP3HS???.BTR work file will be left behind. As each printing takes place, the ??? counter will increase by 1 until it reaches 999 and recycles back to 000.  If all 000 - 999 files are used, then it becomes an infinite loop.

To handle this issue more gracefully, we now provide a message when the work file reaches 999. See sample screen below:
    999 Work Files Reach. Please remove CP3HS*.BTR files in DATA* folder.
