9ollo0ing on fro! the R# Bordereau !odification in #R*&8+&(CC8*8/ "interthur 0ish to be able to
reproduce error reports 0hilst reprinting R# Bordereau reports- This re:uest has been raised in
"interthur change control **&*8*-
"hen a bordereau e;tract is sub!itted <fro! "interthur #nternational !enu(Bordereau !enu("or=
0ith Bordereau E;tracts>/ a selection of reports can be chosen to be produced fro! the sa!e batch ?ob
that perfor!s the e;traction- $uring the e;traction process t0o error reports are produced/ one for
pre@allocation errors and the other for e;traction errors-
1nce an e;tract has been run/ it is possible to re@print these reports fro! the sa!e screen- 2o0e%er
on the re@print no e;traction ta=es place so the original e;tracted data is used for the reports- As 0e
are not perfor!ing an e;traction/ the t0o error reports created originally 0ill not be run- This leads to
the ne0 spool files generated for the reports bearing no apparent connection to the error logs produced
fro! the original run-
All changes re:uired 0ill be !ade in Synon/ and 0ill be custo!er specific- All ob?ects that 0ill be
changed are in the custo!er !odel-

The 0ay that the error reports are currently produced is a standard Genius !ethod/ 0hich redirects all
!essages sent/ to a dedicated !essage :ueue <nor!ally in ATEBP>- At the end of the ?ob/ the
!essage :ueue 0ill be du!ped as a spool file- This is all done using progra! GCDT)&/ 0ith action
conditions EStore and EPrint respecti%ely-
Reprinting the error reports at the sa!e ti!e as the bordereau reports 0ill result in all the spool files
being grouped correctly as if the ?ob had been run for the first ti!e- Also it 0ill not be necessary to
=eep the old GCDT)& spool files for reference as it 0ill be possible to reproduce the! at 0ill-
The e;isting structure for this processing is as follo0s:
E;tract @

#n order to satisfy this re:uire!ent/ it 0ill be necessary to store these !essage :ueues per!anently so
that they can be reprinted at the sa!e ti!e as their respecti%e reports are reprinted-
"hen a bordereau ?ob is run for the first ti!e and the error report is generated/ the report is stored in
a te!porary !essage :ueue by function GCDT)&-
GCDT)&/ ta=es in as para!eters <a!ong others>/ the library na!e and !essage :ueue na!e-
Currently the !essage :ueue is al0ays called BA#.B1R$ for the !ain report and AII1CB1R$ for
the pre@allocations report/ these are al0ays stored in ATEBP-

clear it- .e;t 0e !ust copy each !essage fro! one !essage :ueue to the other- To do this/ use
RC3BSG to recei%e all the info on each !essage in the old !essage :ueue/ then use S.$PGBBSG
to send the !essage off to the ne0 !essage :ueue 0ith the sa!e para!eters-
As 0e 0ill need !ore authority than is a%ailable to create these ob?ects in the data library/ 0e !ust
adopt a higher authority for this progra!- To do this the CRTCIPGB !ust be perfor!ed by so!eone

Construct the !essage :ueue na!es by concatenating GBBH and GBAH 0ith the last ' digits of the

The bordereau reference nu!ber is a nine digit uni:ue nu!ber- As 0e are only using the last eight
digits of this/ there is potential for duplicates <starting at the one hundred !illionth e;tract>- #f for
so!e reason this is reached/ the !essage :ueues 0ill start to not be uni:ue- This 0ill cause a reprint
of e;tract &&&&&&&&* to print the error reports fro! e;tract *&&&&&&&*- Therefore it is assu!ed that
either these !essage :ueues 0ill be occasionally deleted/ or there 0ill be no need to re@print reports
originally printed one hundred !illion e;tracts ago <!ore li=ely>-
#n the e%ent of a duplicate occurring the ne0est e;tract 0ill clear the !essage :ueue before populating
