Updating the Location Format
Access the Location Field Redefinition Revision form.
After you identify the tables to include and define the format for the model branch, run Location Field Update batch program (R41821) by selecting Submit from the Form menu.
The batch program changes the format of the location field in the specified tables according to the model. Run the program in proof or final mode (specified by the version that is used for the Location Field Update program). Run the program in proof mode as many times as needed until the program finishes without errors. To correct errors when you run the program in proof mode, check the information that you defined for the model branch and in UDC table (41/LU), correct as needed, and run in proof mode again.
In either proof or final mode, the system sends messages to the employee work center to report a successful completion or to indicate errors that the program found. The system terminates the program if it finds more than 100 errors.
If errors occur during final mode, the procedure that you use to correct errors depends on the table in which the error occurred. Generally, the procedure is:
Restore all tables that were selected for the run.
Correct the problem.
Rerun the program for the selected tables.
Use a processing option to specify whether to replace existing values in location segments with the new values. You might not want to clear location segments that you use for general reporting purposes.
