While in training mode, then enter WIC mode, can enter into open dept though programmed not to

The register control file is programmed this way: 

    DISALLOW OPEN DEPT IN WIC MODE = YES 

This option works except when in Training mode.  If you are in Training Mode and then you go into WIC mode it will allow the user to enter an amount into an open department.  Then once the cashier is trained, when they get into the real WIC mode they find that this function is not allowed.

Sign on chit doesn't print after printing in Utilities menu.

If you go into the Reports Menu, Utilities and print anything, then go back out and sign on, the register will not print a sign on chit.  It will print the receipts and sign off chit thereafter.  This was recreated by NCR.  At the site they are also experiencing the same result after the register does it's EOD each day, the first sign on prints no chit.  

In testing, I have found this to be the case when "Enable 7156 Delayed Receipt" is set to Yes, and not to be the case when set to No.  The problem may be caused by a combination of settings, but is reproducible with the attached control.001 file.x
