SM2ORCPT.EXE

Error - Type MisMatch error 13

Sm2orcpt.exe has a logic error.The Problem : A customer apparently had some corruption in the Backoffice control file and was getting a Type MisMatch error 13 in Sub Retrieve_OFC at line 400. The error is If (Val(MediaCount$) = 1 Or UCase$(MediaCount$)) and it should be If (Val(MediaCount$) = 1 Or UCase$(MediaCount$) = "Y"). We weren't able to get the control file before Jeff Galing fixed the issue so it is very unlikely that QA will be able to duplicate the issue, but I think it should be fixed since it took alot of Jeff's and my time (I made trap code) to pinpoint the problem. This particular line of code is used several times throughout the app but only line 400 was incomplete, i.e., missing the = "Y".

 

WD 11272

WG2.EXE

Ringing quantity enforced PLU and then restriction matrix item is using previous items quantity.

The Problem : A customer called and said when their cashiers hand key in a produce PLU with a quantity, and the next item is a liquor (or any restricted sale) item, the liquor item will multiply by that same quantity.  I was able to replicate this in our lab when I set "Cust Age" to "2" (Both) and "Birth date Display Age Verify" to Yes. What was happening was that the cashiers were bypassing the second prompt (Customer ID) by pressing Clear, then Enter. This will multiply the liquor sale by the quantity of the previous hand-keyed PLU.

Installation

Pervasive file size limited to 2 Gig even though set to NO limit.

The Problem : ejitem.btr file. These are new installs with Pervasive 9.5 and system is set to NOT limit file size to 2 Gig yet files are being limited. It is looking like because we set the file version to v8 it is still limiting the file size since it is not in v9 format.

Scenario:

1. New install of ScanMaster with new install of v9.5 Pervasive

Expected Results: File size is not restricted to the 2 Gig limit (No caret files should be created)

SM2EJ.EXE

a non numeric value in a commodity code causes movement mismatches and massive numbers of errors on subsequent good TLOGS.

The Problem :A non numeric value in a commodity code causes movement mismatches and massive numbers of errors on subsequent good TLOGS. The EJ processor will continue to run but will not process data properly. See attached files for reproducing the problem and the errors that occur in error.log and ej.log. Processing TLOGS for one day produced 11MB in error/EJlogs. When the CT071609.asc files was processed the item movement and EJ movement reports showed a movement qty of 16 for UPC 1, however, looking for UPC 1 in the EJ transaction report shows 34 sales of UPC 1. The most disturbing part of this is that one bad piece of data could cause faulty processing of good TLOGS and it looks like it could do this until the EJ is stopped and restarted.

 Scenario:

1. Blank ej*.btr files. Delete the C: error.log and the F: ej.log.

2. Place the attached TLOGS in the F:\Journal folder.

3. Start EJ Processor

Expected Results: TLOGS should process without errors.

Actual Results: Several errors occur (see log files).

The Problem :Host SIL batches are overwriting WIC CVV flag. Store set the flag in direct maint. and when SuperValu hosted changes to the items, the WIC CVV flag was set to zero.
