Understanding the Electronic Reporting Join Blocks Process Program

Run the Electronic Reporting Join Blocks Process program to insert records into the text file processor tables and create the flat file that you send to the government. When you run the Electronic Reporting Join Blocks Process program, the system:

1. Reads the records in the Electronic Reporting – Process Header (F76B05210) and Electronic Reporting Processing Details (F76B05211) tables.

2. Generates the block 9 records.

3. Writes data to the Text Processor Header table (F007101) and Text Process Detail Table (F007111).

After you run the Electronic Reporting Join Blocks Process program, you use the Text File Processor program (P007101) to copy the text file to the media that you send to the government for tax reporting.
