Troubleshooting Tips

ERROR CODE 47- INVALID RECORD DECLARATION

Problem: Arises when file layout doesn't match fields, usually during upgrades.

Solution:

Step 1: Go to the MAIN Computer

Step 2: Insert the latest update disk

NOTE: Insert CT!, If you have it, AP! If you don't.

Step 3: Type CD\CT to change directories

Step 4: At C:\CT> type A:\CT###

(where ### is the version #, e.g. CT402, for CT! 4.02)

The number will differ per customer and is written on the front of the update disks.

Say NO to each question to overwrite EXCEPT

UPDATE.DAT will automatically be created and won't ask.

Step 5: Turn on the CAPS LOCK

Step 6: Run CFIL UPDATE.DAT filename P=PRINTER.DAT on each file that receives this error. (For example, filename SALESHD) CFIL UPDATE.DAT SALESHD P=PRINTER.DAT

**The filename that is needed to run the CFIL is found in the initial error screen.**

If the command is entered incorrectly or if the file does not exist, you will be prompted into the Clarion Filer screen (press ESC to prompt).

Step 7: Repeat for any other files that have the same error.
