Program Temporary Fix

ACCPAC Plus Windowing System Manager 6.1A

This PTF corrects the following problems which can arise in the released version of System Manager:

ASCII 224 Character
This update enables the Windowing System Manager to use ASCII character 224. As a result, this version will work with the double-byte characters required by the Japanese version of DOS.

Auto Macros for Standard C Add-on Functions
This update allows you to use auto macros with add-on functions to existing ACCPAC applications. The update is not required for functions that are part of the original accounting programs.

If you currently encounter the message "Wrong menu item specified in CHOICE command" when running an auto macro, this update should fix the problem.

For more information see "Creating an Auto Macro" in the "Using Macros" chapter of the ACCPAC Plus Windowing System Manager manual.

Date Check Correction
This update correctly identifies 29 February 2000 as a valid date.

Date Import Correction
This update correctly imports year 2000 dates in older 6.0 and 6.1 ACCPAC applications when the current date is at or beyond the year 2000.

New Printer Drivers
This update installs five new printer drivers. The first allows HP Laserjet printers to print 224 columns across a page in landscape mode, by removing the excess left-hand margin. The other four (the Laserjet 4/5 drivers)
allow ACCPAC Plus to make better use of the features of HP Laserjet 4 or later printers.

To select one of the new configurations, use the Printer Setup option on the System Manager Menu. Choose one of the following:

- Hewlett-Packard LaserJet (Landscape) No Margin
- Hewlett-Packard Laserjet 4/5
- Hewlett-Packard Laserjet 4/5 (66 lines per page)
- Hewlett-Packard Laserjet 4/5 (Landscape)
- Hewlett-Packard Laserjet 4/5 (Landscape) No Margin

Correction of Field Display Problems
The current release of System Manager 6.1A has problems displaying hidden 4-digit date fields that are used in some data input forms when multi-currency is turned off.

The result is that screens are incorrecty displayed, and that data can go into the wrong fields.

This PTF fixes the problem.
