I created a custom program (batch update) to update the taeemastr, taemptrans and tatransum files. We are still testing the program and whenever the records are not updating correctly, I have to go back and fix these records using a paint screen. The users mentioned I could run the program in report mode, what does that mean and would I have to change the program type?

All "report mode" usually means is that the developer included a flag on the parameter screen that allows the user to select "Report" or "Update" mode, and the developer included code that "skips" the add/update/delete calls when the program is run in report mode. This would allow you to debug or display values without actually updating the tables, so you can be sure it's doing what you expect.

Thank you for taking your time to explain it. I am using LP100 as sample program now. Thanks
