Pool Bank File Compression

The Pool Bank File Compression program compresses pool bank detailed history entries down to one compressed entry per bank, table, employee and employee bank number. The storage bank system must maintain the storage bank balances per year per employee. This process would be used to reduce the size of the pool bank history file. The file SRB$OPSDAT0:PRBP01.DAT is the only file to be affected by this process.

A current backup of the payroll should be taken before beginning any compression for purge processing.

This option is forced to batch and should only be run when users are NOT active in the payroll - on the weekends or after 7 p.m. on Fridays.

Enter the End Period to be Compressed

  • Enter the ending period for a range of pay periods to be compressed.

Note: The process will compress all records up to and including the pay period selected.
