INC38674040-Defect PRCA VENDOR LINK Option Problem: -------- When using the Link Debtor To Vendor [PRCA VENDOR LINK] option, the returned value is a two-piece string (IEN^NAME(#.01)) from VENDOR (#440) file. This results in not only the VENDOR LINK (#.06) field of the AR DEBTOR (#340) file being modified but subsequent fields as well, such as the LARGE PRINT NEEDED ON STMT (#111) field, etc. Resolution: ----------- Modified the RCXFMSUV routine to use +VENDOR to ensure we only use the first piece (IEN) to update the VENDOR LINK (#.06) field.
