Check Data Files
The Check Data facility lets you check the validity of your data files and, in certain circumstances, correct any data corruption. It should be run regularly before taking a back up, and after restoring your data.
The data files are examined to detect the following error conditions:
Input errors: values outside the limits of
the program.
Internal inconsistencies: values that fail
to correspond, or transactions that do not match up correctly.
Missing data: files or important pieces of
information that are missing.
Corrupt data: damaged / unreadable data files
or faulty disks.
Invalid nominal account types.
If you have any errors in your data, you can print a report detailing these errors.
