BKNC - XX

New Issued Checks
BKNC common codes are used with BKUTBK. This utility is for the cash management of agency check information that is not stored in the BKDB. This would occur if the agency was in a different geographic location and issued its own checks independent of the BusinessPLUS BKDB. The agency issued check information can be updated to the BKDB through this utility.

This common code is used to define the Bank File of new checks to be written to BK for the specified bank ID.

1: The valid values for this field are ASCII, EBCDIC, and COMMA and indicate the general format of the file. Both ASCII and EBCDIC indicate fixed-width fields on each record. COMMA indicates an ASCII file with comma-delimited fields (without quotes). When using a COMMA type file, the field lengths are not used and should be set to 2 to avoid configuration errors.

2: Check number type (i.e., CHAR, BINARY, or PBINARY).

3: There are three valid values: ASCII, EBCDIC, and COMMA. "COMMA" means each record is comma-delimited and in ASCII format. When using this mode, each field type should be set to CHAR and the number of each field is placed into the starting position on the common code. The field length is not used, but should be set to 1 to prevent warnings about invalid values. Comma-delimited fields may be up to 30 characters long.
