Could you please post the entire error message. Need at least the program name and line number. Also need to know what version of MAS you are on and if this is MAS90 or MAS200. Need to know which journal. Right now there is not enough information to go on.

Error #47:  Substring reference out of string
Program GLWDAC - Line 10080
File GL3CAP.SOA - GL3  G/L Journal Posting Detail File
Channel 2
Key-N/A
Application - General Ledger (3.71)
L/M Level - 3.71

I have an un-posted journal entry that I can not access to edit or delete.  I've tried creating a new JE and use the arrows to back into this entry, but it only gives me the error.  I've tried to post the entry and again, I just get the error.  I've Goggled the error and posted it in a chat room – so far, no solutions. (There is a lot of info regarding this error on the web – but not many solutions without a "rebuild").


The problem is I can't get any other JEs to post – it blocks all entries behind it.

My audit is next week and I need to record some entries - YIKES!

Appreciate your assistance!
