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 or the
Tabs3 Remote transaction file.

RESOLUTION

In Tabs3:

Edit the appropriate transaction code field.

In PracticeMaster

Drill down from the error report and replace the invalid character 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 isn't corrupted, you have the chance of salvaging at least part of the data.
