Can anyone explain to me how to print the date on a cheque (using the PRTCHKS procedure) in mmddyyyy or ddmmyyyy format as required by the new Canadian Payments Association standards?

Thanks for your help.

The new regulations do not come into effect until December 2006. We will have a solution before then.

Unfortunately, I’m running out of cheques and have to have new ones printed in the next couple of weeks. It shouldn’t be difficult to fix – all it needs is a couple of extra template slots for a cheque date formatted as “ddmmyyyy” and “mmddyyyy”. Right now the PRTCHKS procedure uses the date format on the Odds and Ends document – none of which are in the required format.

Can anybody help me with changing the date format now? It is almost the time to get the new format of cheques and we still do not have a solution!

Date format does not have to be changed till the end of the year. QW Page has already made the date change for the Accrual payroll and will have the PRTPAY & PRTCHKS completed before the required date.

A productivity disk update for the new cheque specifications will be available from our web site within the next two weeks.

When it is ready, you will see an announcement under the breaking new section on our web page at http://www.qwpage.com.

Martin mentioned that a Productivity disk update will be announced in 2 weeks.

It is 3 weeks now and I have still not seen the announcement on the website.

Any news would be welcome as we are almost out of our cheques now.

With Regards

So what is the status if this? I want to get this change done soon, well before July 1. Thanks.

Please disregard my previous post. I have ordered the PD and the library update.
