Choice Technologies, Inc. DCE (Data Consistency Error) Error Message

 

This message may occur when you are attempting to run or print an Accounts Receivable Aging or Customer Ledger Report. The message is indicating a customer record within People’s Choice® for a particular customer or group of customers is out of balance. It is extremely difficult to determine exactly where the problem is originating and/or which files may be affected. However the severity of the problem can be checked by running the following FoxPro command.

  • To determine the extent of the problem go to the Utilities Menu in the Accounts Receivable Module, choose System Access and type the password Fox. After entering the password press <Enter>. At the command line type, Do arverify with "nostop". This will analyze all customers in the system, and compare their transaction data to their balance. A list of the bad records will appear on screen. If the list contains 1 or 2 customers, you could elect to run "arverify" specifically for those customers by following the above directions and substituting the "nostop" with the customer code. (example; Do arverify with "AP001") This procedure will display where the error is originating. You could attempt to correct BUT this is a very time consuming process that may create more problems and not even fix the original ones. The only proper way to eliminate these errors is to restore from a clean backup.
