Slide 7

Slide notes: The Master Files from which we may delete Accounts with this Housekeeping option are listed on the Help. For some Master Files, an asterisk (*) is listed to indicate that on this Master, we have to list the specific Keys to delete, while for the others, we can list the Keys or use the wildcard asterisk to delete any qualifying Accounts. A qualifying Account is usually an Account that is closed and without any balance or history that prevents it from being deleted.
