 This patch fixes the following issues:

 2. The potential for the back billing process to bill a negative amount.

 REMEDY OVERVIEW:
 ================
 1. INC000001120403    Integrated Billing - Other:
   
    Problem: 
    --------
    While calculating the MESSAGE CHECKSUM (#.15) field for the 
    BILL STATUS MESSAGE (#361) file, if the utility encounters a 
    numeric value containing an "E" any arrhythmic calculation on 
    that field evaluates the "E" as "Exponent" which can lead to a
    <MAXNUMBER> error.
   
    Resolution:
    -----------
    Rather than evaluating every line, the checksum utility will only
    evaluate the lines necessary in the checksum calculation thereby 
    avoiding the possibility of encountering an unintended element with
    the potential of containing an "E".
  
    Routine: IBCEST1
  
  
 2. INC000000956230    Neg $ Amounts (Files #350 & 354.71)
   
    Problem: 
    --------
    When the IB back billing process encounters an IB PATIENT COPAY 
    ACCOUNT (#354.7) record where the total amount billed for the year 
    exceeds the YEARLY CAP AMOUNT (#.04) in the IB COPAY CAPS file 
    (#354.75) the back billing process can potentially bill a negative
    amount, which based on the field definitions should not be possible.  
   
    Resolution:
    -----------
    When determining the amount to back bill, if the bill amount is less
    than zero, the processing will halt for that record and the negative
    amount will not be billed.
