Features

You can use the following five application parameters:

Application Parameter

Description

JRN_BALANCE

Defines whether journals must balance

1 or Y: Journals must balance when they are posted. Journal users can save an unbalanced journal, but may not post it.

0 or N: Journals can be balanced or unbalanced. Journal users can change this behavior. If they select Balanced, it works the same as option 1.

2: Journals users are prompted to save the journal as balanced, but are not required to do so.

JRN_MAXCOUNT

The maximum number of journal entries returned from a query in the Journal Manager

This parameter is useful if you have a large number of journal entries and want to protect a user from launching a large query that returns many journals and takes a long time.

JRN_POST_OVERWRITE

Determines whether the system keeps the same journal ID when saving journals that were previously set to Posted status, but changed to Unposted status.

Y: The Journal ID is preserved.

N: A new ID generates when the unposted journal is saved.

JRN_DESC_MODE

Determines whether member IDs or descriptions are shown in the Journal template.

Y: Member descriptions are shown as row and column headings.

N: Member IDs are shown as row and column headings.

You set up journal application parameters for an application using Interface for the Web by choosing   Administration   Application parameters  . Variable names are case-sensitive.
