I have a query regarding Datacare V6.5A 990324

When an integrity check is run using datacare to check purchase
orders files I receive the error:

" Cannot open non existant file C:\DATA\ICIPOD'I.DAT" This file does
not exist in our Accpac data. However Inventory control checks out
with no errors.

This error has been apparant for at least 6 months and the system
continues to operate successfully. Also when I create a new set of
Purchase Order and inventory files the file is still not created.

The Accpac system manager also reports the same error.

We have PO v 6.1C 980128 and
INV Control v 6.5a 990809

Do you have any ideas whether this error is a fault of the integrity
checker or Accpac Plus or our data?

Hello, Paul

This error has been reported before, however, we have not been able to determine what is the actual cause.

That file does not exist in the sample data for IC6.5A as it comes from AI. We cannot replicate this error here, using DataCare on IC6.5A samdata, even though the file does not exist...nor does the WSM DIC give an error - this could indicate that something in your data files are triggering this message...but since both the DIC and DC are reporting it, it would not be a DataCare issue in itself.

It could have something to do with either the version of WSM that you are using, or the fact that you have POV6.1, yet have the IC65A/PO65A combination installed.

You could experiment by renaming your old PO data files, and then check it to see if the message goes away. I am using the same release of DataCare that you are, with WSM7.0 installed and do not get that message.

You can contact AI to see what that file actually does, we suspect it is an index to the item PO file.
