Absence of data records

A good way to determine whether or not you are processing proper data is to examine the Dispatcher Tables Summary (see Figure 1) and End of File Record Counts (see Figure 2).

These two summaries are automatically produced at the end of report and extract processing. They provide a good starting point for problem determination when it is expected that some or all of the input data is missing.
