SUMMARY

This error indicates an invalid or corrupted transaction code was found in a Transaction Code field. The only characters allowed in this field are the numbers 1-999. This error may be encountered in the:

• Fee file,
• Cost file,
• Payment file,
• Client Funds file,
• Transaction Code file, or the
• Task Code file.

In Tabs3 Remote, an error code 80 indicates an invalid or corrupted transaction code field can be found in the:

• validation files,
• Tabs3 Remote Fee file, or the
• Tabs3 Remote Cost file.

RESOLUTION

In Tabs3:

• Edit the appropriate transaction code field.

In PracticeMaster

• Drill down from the error report and replace the invalid value with a valid transaction code.

In Tabs3 Remote:

• If the error is in the validation files, simply recreate the Tabs3 validation files and transfer the new validation files to the remote terminal.
• If the error is in the remote data files, edit the transaction's Tcode field using the appropriate data entry program. If you cannot edit the transaction, you must restore from a backup. Or, you can attempt to merge the data into Tabs3. The merge program may or may not complete successfully (most likely it will not). However, by trying to merge the data that is not corrupted, you have the chance of salvaging at least part of the data.
