SUMMARY

This error is caused by a corrupted date field. The date field may be blank or the date may be outside of the allowable date range (i.e., less than 01/01/0100 or greater than 12/31/9999).

RESOLUTION

Typically, this error can be corrected by editing the date field for the record shown on the Error Report.

• If a DFIC error 52 is encountered in a verification list, you can ignore the error or you can delete the verification list. Details regarding how to delete a verification list can be found in R10167, Data File Integrity Check Errors in Verification Files.
• In Tabs3, if the corrupted date is in the Client file, it may be a date that is maintained internally in the client record and cannot be accessed. In this situation, it is possible to correct this error by running a final statement for the client listed on the Error Report. The statement can be displayed on the screen and if necessary can be unbilled immediately afterwards.
• In TAS, if the error occurred in a check trust transaction and the Date field cannot be edited, it may be necessary to void the check and reenter it with a valid date in the Date field.
• In PracticeMaster, if you preview the Error Report, you can easily drill down to the record with the error by moving the mouse over the error and clicking it when it is highlighted in yellow.
