IR48632: WITH DUAL CASH DRAWERS, DRAWER 1 OPENS EVERY TIME ON A NO-SALE TRANSACTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With Dual Cash Drawers, Drawer 1 Opens Every Time on a no-sale
  transaction.
  When you install and code for dual cash drawers, drawer 1 will
  open every time for a no-sale transaction when you code
  according to the documentation for apar IR94498.  The module
  EALTSTTC.BAS has an open for the cash drawer that has not been
  adjusted for the apar IR94498.  You can set the old GSA return
  code for User exit 9 > 1, however if you blanket set this
  variable along with ts.dual.dr.2 you will make the loan and
  withdrawal functions of full screen GSA quit working.  If you
  code your user exit to open drawer 2 and set the variable
  ts.cash.dr.2 = 1 GSA will still open drawer 1 on a NO-SALE.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ealtsttc.bas does not call CASH.DERR like all
  other modules for opening drawer.  It also did
  not have a test on TS.CASH.DR.2 variable prior
  to the opening of drawer 1 (it only tests the
  TS.RETURNCODE variable from the CASH.DR.EXIT
  

Problem conclusion

• Because this code has been in place since 1991,
  it was decided that we would not change it for
  fear of impacting others who have worked around
  this via userexit coding anyway.  We opted to put
  some further comments in the ealtsu09.bas (the
  CASH.DR.EXIT routine) to show how someone can use
  the exits to code around this situation (since dual
  cash drawer function is an exit mod anyway).
