account and cost center details for applications out side of FCS.

Consequently the GL application should be controlled from bad data, any

batch delays and uninterrupted services. Some of the surrounding

systems to FCS are FCS online application ASC (Automated Suspense

Clearing) and NVS (National Validation System) which are CICS and DB2

based systems. ASC allows the user to clear the transactions that have
