Title: MKAHIST - 12 error
Post by Rbuchanan on 07/21/05 at 03:47:22

This morning we went to post our GL Batches (GL-O) and everything appeared to work fine until it tried to finish printing to a text file. We got an "Error opening file MKAHIST.BMM - 12" error message, and after selecting "OK" to continue we were back at the main Accounting menu.

This happens in both Classic with the 6/20 updates and in Evo

Error 12 is File Not Found - does the file exist? It holds a number of default settings so if it truly didn't exist, you would be getting messages all over the place.

Yup! It's there all right. I went to check, then tried the report again. Same results!

I even tried moving a copy of MKAHIST.BMM to the directory where I'm saving the report and freeing up substantial disk space on the drive, but still the same thing.

WHat do you mean by "Printing to a text file"? Are you posting or printing? If you don't print, can you post?

By printing to a text file, I mean we are attempting to print the report, but instead of a paper copy (which in our case would kill thousands of trees! Today's report was 211 pages and the one from the day we started having trouble was 69!)) we send it to a file for archiving. (options are to List, Printer or File)

Yes, we can post them, and the text file I found is being created, but we never got the error message before!

As a side note, now that we've gone ahead and posted the offending transaction, I still get the same error message.

Anyone still out there??

I'm hoping that our work-around solution isn't going to cause any long-term problems, but it's still a hassle to go in and print the selected transactions to a file, get the error message and be dumped back out the the menus and then to have to go back in and reselect the transactions to post a second time.

Anyone got any ideas?
