We are upgrading from Lawson 9.0.0.x to 9.0.1.x and have noticed that when the PR160 is run, not only has the PMTOUT file changed, but so also has the ACHFILE.
One step forward...
They have fixed the PMTOUT file from 9.0.0 to 9.0.1, from a single line flat file to multiple records per employee/transaction, which was a blessing.
...Two steps back???...
However, did they also change the ACHFILE to the exact opposite??? On 9.0.x, there were carriage returns & line feeds in the file. However, the new 9.0.1.x file appears to be a continuous, single line, flat file now.
I thought that an ACHFILE was in a universally accepted format, regardless of bank. So, am confused as to how Lawson can change the output format/layout.
Does anyone know of any patches released for 9.0.1.x to correct this issue?
Thank you in advance!

You could always run it through the Lawson utility cnvexp
cnvexp -f ACHFILE 94 > ACHFILE_w_cr
The above will put in carriage returns/line feeds at position 94... adjust the number for record length.

You shouldn't - check the KB - there is a workfile setting that will fix this for you
HTH,

Thanks guys...I did find how to set it in the workfile instead...
It is referenced in Lawson KB article #71213.
Thanks for the suggestions!
