Understanding the Clear T5018 Tax File Program

When you process T5018, ensure that you run the Clear T5018 Tax file program to delete prior year records from the T5018 Tax File (F04614) before you begin processing T5018 returns for the current year. Thereafter, do not run this program for the current year unless you make a mistake like running the Build T5018 Workfile - A/P program twice.

The Clear T5018 Tax file program removes all records in the F04614 table. The Build T5018 Workfile - A/P program adds records to the F046141 table each time you run it.

Note:

If the data in the F04614 table is important, take a backup of the F04614 table before you clear it.
