Function to seek consumer data from tables that include dbr field
A new user function miscseek() has been added to DDAS and Word merge custom fields. This gives the user
the ability to seek information on a specifed consumer within the following databases:
-ABKRFILE
-ARBITRATE
-DECEASED
-DGARN
-DSERVE
-FIN_PROF
-MORT_DEF
The function specifications are:
miscseek("[DATABASE]","[CONSUMER NUMBER]","[FIELDNAME WITHIN DATABASE]")
For example, if the user needs to seek the bankruptcy case number for the first consumer, the function would be:
miscseek("ABKRFILE","1","CASENUM")
The only exception to this rule is the DGARN database. Due to the possibilty of having multiple DGARN records
per consumer, the miscseek() user function is programmed to pull the information for the first ACTIVE record for
the specified consumer. Therefore, miscseek("DGARN","1","GARNCASENO") will seek the garnishment case
number for the active garnishment for the first consumer.

Print Statement Via Task Code
Print Statement Via Task Code
We now have a feature in a task code that allows for the creation of a print statement through the auto-execution
of a task. Inside the Letter/Email tab of the task, there is a new check box called Create a Print Statement saved
to the Documents tab as of Today's date (date task processed). If this box is checked and the task is
auto-executed (whether through the Execute now button or through TAS documents), a PDF of the Print
Statement will be created in the Documents tab of the file.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that this does not PRINT the print statement, but only creates it. To print it, a second
step will be required by using the DOCCODE or DOCCOD1 in a separate task to pull the print statement. The
DOCID for the print statement is LETTER.

New hold functions on pay types
New hold functions on pay types
The payment hold for clearing function has been enhanced to allow more flexibility for holding based on Payment
type.
In the Maintenance, System Codes, code type PT, click edit and in the column entitled GROUP place the
number of days to hold each individual payment type. Leave those with no hold blank. The three functions for
holds are now, 1. Check hold only using the client preference (Cust.Defholdday) 2. The firm wide preference to
hold all payment types DBRPAYHOLD 3. New firm preference PAYMNTHOLD and by placing the number of
days hold on the payment types in the System Codes.
You can do the DBRHOLD or the PAYMNTHOLD, and the Client Defholday will override either if a number is in
that field for a client.

Echo back trx 02, 03 and 10s in record 30
Many YGC clients are requiring transactions 02, 03 and 10s (direct pays) to be echoed back to them. Qlaw can
now handle this. YGC has added a new field which will inform your client of the direct pay reference number that
was sent to you in the Record 12. Qlaw will pick up the data entered in the check /reference # field in the return
Record 30.
Definition of the DPRefno field from YGC:
If a Record Type 12 Direct Payment was received, this field should be used to indicate or cross reference the
DPRefNo from the Record 12.

Support for multiple POEs and FINs
We have updated YGC to include the contacts FI2, FI3, PO2 and PO3 within Records 34 (POEs) and Records
35 (FINs). These records are for DEB1 and DEB2 records that have more than one POE and FIN record types
associated to them.
To add these to your contact record types, select CR in System Codes inside Maintenance. Select a record type
with DEB in the CloseCode column and choose Add. A popup will prompt the user to change the code and
description. After the user chooses OK, the Code and Desc fields can be populated to reflect the new record
type.
