RW32™ Version 10.5.2 Service Pack

Passport has created a 10.5.2 service pack that incorporates all of the critical patches and fixes for 10.5.1 that were previously distributed on this site plus numerous other less critical bug fixes that were found and cured up through mid-March. For a list of all the fixes contained in the service pack, see below to download a PDF copy of the 10.5.2 Improvements List.

There was one late breaking fix that could not be included in the 10.5.2 service pack. This is fix SPR456/463/810, relating to the production of Quarterly Magnetic Media, and it can be found further down on this page.

The 10.5.2 service pack can only be installed if you have already installed the 10.5.1 update.

SPR 456/463/810-Windows/Unix/Linux

Passport Software, Inc., has released three corrections to the current Payroll programs related to the production of Quarterly Magnetic Media in RW32™ Version 10.5.1 and 10.4.2. Identified as SPR456, SPR463 and 810, these programs are corrected with a downloadable patch. They may be applied against either the 10.5.1 release or the 10.4.2 release.

They may also be applied on top of the 10.5.2 service pack, available soon as a web-based download or shipped upon special request Passport Business Solutions Version 11 release includes these updates.

SPR456 Description - The PR Quarterly Mag Media name fields are incorrectly formatted: The last name is missing, and the first name is repeated.

SPR463 and 810 Description: Under certain specific conditions, typically involving the use of a date field in the set up fields of the Quarterly Mag Media file, a range error would result during the creation of the Mag Media.

A message similar to following would appear:

Duplicated the reference modifier range error; start =1, length =-3
COBOL error at 001043 in PROBJ\QTRMAG
Called from 00045C in PROBJ\LCKMAG
Called from 0003C9 in RWC
Called from 0001A7 in ACUSTART.ACU

Alternatively, the program may give a 'non-numeric type' error and would proceed. Both errors resulted from incorrect coding of the MAGTBL.pws copy library for date items which is utilized in nine programs.

Please download the patch file and make sure the programs are all placed in the PROBJ directory.

1. Download the Windows Patch zip file
2. Right-click to download the Unix/Linux 'tar' archive (un-archive from the "top-level" RW32 directory)

Windows/Unix/Linux - SPR432/458/501 (Updated 9/30/2004)

Passport Software, Inc., has identified a problem in the current 10.5.1 update Accounts Payable module. Several printing issues relating to the display of fully paid open items and an error in the logic of the program cause the Aging Report system to error out.

2/26/04 - We recently discovered an additional problem with the aging that specifically affects those users whose Vendor History file has been purged to a more recent date than their Open Item file. In this case items in the Open Item file that have been paid but whose VH entries have been purged would show on the aging. The quick solution to this problem is to purge the Open Item file so there are not O/I entries that are not matched by Vendor History entries. We have also updated the patches below so that even if the above situation does hold the program will not show these paid O/I entries.

9/30/04 - SPR501 fixes a problem where under certain circumstances, open items where being left off of the report.

Replace the programs "OPNAPA.acu", "OPNSCN.acu" and "OPNRPT.acu" with the ones in either of these downloads:

Windows zip file or Unix/Linux 'tar' archive

Unzip or un-tar these files directly into the APOBJ folder, replacing the programs that reside there.

Once you have installed the program please also make sure to re-enter the selection parameters for the aging as the number of selection fields may have changed.

Patch for V10.5.3 – SPR690 – printing W-2’s for employees in multiple jurisdictions

This problem affects only those people using either the multi-city or multi-state options of the Payroll package. The error caused the W-2 print program to loop when an employee was involved with three or more jurisdictions.   I.E. was reporting for more than three cities and/or states. Paper W-2's for single jurisdictions and all magnetic media are unaffected - this is true for running the Federal and State portions either separately or combined.
