Repair TLC Data File
1- Run the TLCFIX utility, an Icon for it should be on your desktop. Normally this will repair the data file or files
you selected and you are finished. 2- However, the files can be corrupted beyond the utility’s ability to repair them. You
can still recover the file by using the FILDUMP utility and creating a flat file. 3- In the flat file look for and correct
the corruptions by hand editing. 4- Reinitialize the Data File to zero. 5- Use the FILELOAD utility to load your corrected
file. For a description of these Download: http://www.itctoolman.com/misc/tlcdatarepair.pdf

Convert TLC Legacy Database to TLC32
1st- make sure the TLC Legacy data files are as error free as they can be. Run TLCFIX on each of the Data files. 2nd-
dump all the files from the TLC Legacy database to text files using the TLCDUMP Utility. 3rd- after dumping all the TLC Legacy
data files from the TLC database you should view them with a text viewer to quickly verify the file integrity. If you find
blocks of data that do not look correct you can edit/delete information here. 4th- the TLC 32 database should be empty. If
it is not and you wish to create an empty database 1) copy the empty database from the TLC 32 CD. 5th- load all the new text
files into the new database using the TLC32 TLCDUMP Utility (it does both the Dump & Load functions). 6th- repeat the
FILEFIX (1st step) again. This will verify the data was loaded correctly and there aren't any serious problems. 7th- test
the database with the system. Perform a few withdraws returns, etc. to see if everything works with the new data files. Run
a few reports to see that everything lines up. 8th- run the utility named INUSEFIX. To get a detail copy of the procedure
outlined here DOWNLOAD: http://www.itctoolman.com/misc/convert1632.pdf
