Check validity of each entry

The C > CHECK validity of each entry menu option allows you to verify a payment data file from the bursar's office without updating patron records. As it checks entries, the system removes invalid entries from the payment data file, appends an error message to each invalid line, and writes them to an error file.

When the validity check ends, the number of errors are displayed. For example:
