SECTION 13 BANCADO MORTGAGE LOAN SYSTEM

 

13.1 INTRODUCTION

The Mortgage Loan system provides an accounting method for maintaining mortgage loans. Each installation is responsible for establishing its own schedule of accounting procedures to be used in system operation. In general, each bank will define daily, weekly, monthly, and annual operations.

On a daily basis, the bank will enter mortgage loan data. This includes entering new customers, new loans, transactions, and changes to any existing customers or loans.

The Mortgage Loan system requires that the Transaction Journal be run once a day as an update. This advances the Mortgage Loan system date and performs the necessary interest and insurance calculations.

On a monthly basis, reports are generated. Monthly reports will include earnings, delinquency, and new and paid out mortgage reports.

On an annual basis, annual statements must be generated. This operation generates statements to be sent to the customers and also zeros the year-to-date interest fields in the Mortgage Loan file.

 

Function Selection

This procedure is used to review the current status of mortgage loan activity. This procedure displays a list of all the various transaction types and shows the number and amount of each transaction type entered thus far today and for the previous day. Also, the display shows the loan balance as of the last transaction and as of the last close of business.

From the Mortgage Loan menu, enter 12 for Activity Summary. The system automatically displays the activity summary on the screen as follows:

The display takes more than one screen, so press RETURN to page through it. After viewing the Activity Summary screen, press RETURN to return to the Mortgage Loan menu.

13.3.5 CHANGE ACCRUAL DATE

The Change Accrual Date procedure changes the accrual dates in the system control record. This procedure is only used at installation time prior to entering mortgages and transactions for first day processing.

CAUTION: Changing the accrual dates can effect the bank accruals. Therefore, only use this procedure as directed.

From the Mortgage Loan menu, enter 13 for Change Accrual Date. The system displays:

LAST ACCRUE DATE: MM/DD/YYYY [ ]

NEXT ACCRUE DATE: MM/DD/YYYY [ ]

The dates that are displayed are the current dates that exist in the system control record.

To change the last accrue date, perform a DELETE to position to the beginning of the field. Then enter the correct date in MM/DD/YYYY format.

To change the next accrue date, perform a DELETE again to position to the beginning of the field. Then enter the correct date in MM/DD/YYYY format.

The system displays the prompt:

ARE YOU SURE?

If your entries are correct, enter YES and press RETURN. The system displays the message CHANGED momentarily and then returns to the Mortgage Loan menu.

NOTE: This procedure only changes the dates in the control record, not the current active date in the system. To change the active system date, you must return to the BANCADO main menu (selection 99) and then return to the Mortgage Loan menu.

To terminate the procedure without changing the dates, press RETURN only. The system returns to the Mortgage Loan menu.

13.3.6 CHANGE VARIABLE RATES

This procedure changes the rates on variable interest rate mortgages according to the RATE CODE field in the mortgage loan record and prints a record of the changes. The rate change takes effect when the Transaction Journal is next run as an update. Since a non-update option is available, the report may be run at any time to determine what effect a proposed rate change would have without actually changing any interest rates.

 

From the Mortgage Loan menu, enter 14 for Change Variable Rates. The system displays:

CHANGE VARIABLE RATES

For Mortgages with Rate Code: [ ]

Change the rate to:

Or increase (decrease) the rate by:

To a maximum rate of:

Should any participant rate be changed too? (Y/N):

Print report only? (Y/N):

Enter the rate code assigned to the mortgages for which you wish to change rates and press RETURN.

The system positions the cursor to the Change the Rate prompt. The system waits for the entry of the new rate for the mortgages with the code entered above. Enter the new rate in the 99.9999 format. If you want an increase or decrease in the rate, press RETURN without making an entry.

If no new rate is entered, the system positions to the Increase (Decrease) the Rate prompt. If you wish to increase the rate on all mortgages with the rate code entered, enter the increase in the percentage rate in the format 99.9999. If you wish to decrease the rate, precede the entry with a minus sign (-).

The system next positions the cursor to the Maximum Rate prompt. If there is no maximum rate for the rate code specified, simply press RETURN without entering a maximum. Otherwise, enter the maximum rate in the format 99.9999.

Next, the cursor is positioned to the Participant Rate prompt. Enter a Y or an N depending on the action required regarding any participant rates in the affected mortgages.

When the cursor is positioned to the Print Report Only prompt, enter "Y" to print the rate change report without actually changing any rates on the file. Enter "N" to print the report while the file is being changed.

Upon completion of the last entry, the system begins to print the report as shown on the following page and returns to the Mortgage Loan menu. Note that the heading report indicates whether or not the file has actually been changed by specifying either "Update Run" or "Non-update Run" on each page.

13.4 MORTGAGE LOAN REPORTS

The Mortgage Loan system produces a variety of reports. Most reports can be generated on an optional basis, with the exception of the Transaction Journal. The Transaction Journal must be generated as an update run at the end of each day after all activity has been entered. When this report is generated as an update, the system date is advanced and the necessary interest and insurance calculations are made.

Function Selection

Throughout this section you will be asked to select a particular function from REPORTS portion of the Mortgage Loan menu. The following is an example of this portion of the menu.

REPORTS

20. Transaction Journal

21. Trial Balance

22. Participation Register

23. Past Due Report

24. Paid Out Report

25. New & Extended Report

26. Escrow Reports

27. Call Report

28. Print Amortization

29. Delinquency Report

30. Change Print Size

13.4.1 TRANSACTION JOURNAL

This report is a journal of the transactions entered for the current day. Optionally, this procedure updates the interest accrual for the day in the Mortgage Loan file.

Normally, a Transaction Journal is printed once each day, and at least one update run per day is required for proper interest accrual. Because the file update portion of the procedure is optional, a Transaction Journal can be produced without the update option at any time during the day to indicate the current status of transaction activity for the day.

From the Mortgage Loan menu, enter 20 for Transaction Journal. If the system date is not the same as the next scheduled accrual date, the system starts to print the Transaction Journal and displays the Mortgage Loan menu.

When the system date is the correct accrual date, the system displays the prompt:

Is this an update run? (Y/N): [ ]

Update Run

To update the interest accrued for the day, enter a "Y" and press RETURN. The system displays the prompt:

Today is MM/DD/YYYY. Enter the next working date: [ ]

Enter the next date that the bank will be open. The system then determines the number of days for which interest is to be accrued.

To cut off a month, quarter, or year in the middle of a weekend, you can run a separate update for the portion of the weekend after the cutoff in order to obtain an accurate cutoff on accruals.

After the date is specified, the system prints the Transaction Journal.

CAUTION: If, for some reason, the report does not complete and an update run has been requested, you must not restart the procedure. You must reload backup files and start the procedure from the beginning.

Print-Only Run

To print the Transaction Journal without updating the accrual date, enter an "N" in response to the Is This An Update Run? prompt.

The system starts to print the report as shown below and displays the Installment Loan menu.

13.4.2 TRIAL BALANCE

This report prints a Trial Balance of all outstanding mortgage loans. The Trial Balance can be generated in the following sequences:

Bank totals are printed at the end of the report. For reports that are printed in customer number or name sequence, sub-totals are printed for each customer.

Normally, a trial balance is printed after the Transaction Journal procedure performs an update. Thus, the Trial Balance is run at the close of business each day, and the report can be saved for bank records.

Because the Trial Balance procedure does not update any disk files, the report can be printed any time during the day. When the procedure is run prior to the Transaction Journal update run, the principal balances shown on the report are current as of the time of the run, but the interest balances are current as of the close of the preceding business day.

From the Mortgage Loan menu, enter 21 for Trial Balance. After selection of 21, the system requests the sequence in which to print the report, as follows:

Enter the number of the desired sequence and press RETURN.

The system starts to print the Trial Balance in the specified sequence and displays the Mortgage Loan menu.

 

13.4.3 PARTICIPATION REGISTER

This procedure prints a Participation Register with balance and transaction totals for the month for each participant.

From the Mortgage Loan menu, enter 22 for Participation Register. After selection of 22, the system requests the sequence in which to print the report

1. Customer Name

2. Mortgage Number

3. Customer Number

Enter the number of the desired sequence and press RETURN.

The system starts to print the Participation Register and displays the Mortgage Loan menu on the screen.

13.4.4 PAST DUE REPORT

This report lists all Mortgage Loans that are one or more days past due as specified by the computer operator at the time the report is run. The past-due mortgages can be sorted by customer name or by assigned officer. There is also a special report of those mortgages becoming delinquent on the date the report is run.

Bank past due totals are printed at the end of the report. If the report is sorted by customer, past due sub-totals are printed for each customer with multiple past due loans. If the report is sorted by officer, past due sub-totals are printed for each officer.

Mortgages and totals are printed in the following categories:

1 to 30 days past due

31 to 60 days past due

61 to 90 days past due

91 to 120 days past due

Over 120 days past due

From the Mortgage Loan menu, enter 23 for the Past Due Report. After selection of 23, request the type of report as follows:

Report type: [ ]

1. Alphabetic Past Due Report

2. Officer Past Due Report

3. New Past Due Report

Enter the number of the desired type and press RETURN.

Except for the Officer Past Due Report, the system displays

Spread B-Balance or P-Payments

Enter "B" if Mortgage Balances are to be spread to the various categories. Enter "P" if the delinquent payment amounts are to be spread. (For the Officer Past Due Report, payment amounts are automatically spread.)

The system displays:

Past-due loans were due prior to:

Enter the date in MM/DD/YYYY format and press RETURN.

The system starts to print the report as shown below and displays the Mortgage Loan menu.

 

13.4.5 PAID OUT REPORT

This report lists all mortgage loans that were paid off either today or so far this month. The operator selects which payoff period is to printed.

This report can be printed at any time after a Transaction Journal update. Normally, it is printed at the end of each business day and at the end of each month.

From the Mortgage Loan menu, enter 24 for Paid Out Report. After selection of 24, the system requests which period is to be reported, as follows:

DAILY OR MONTHLY REPORT? (D OR M) [ ]

Enter D to list all notes paid off today; enter M to list all notes paid off this month. Press RETURN.

The system starts to print the report as shown below and displays the Mortgage Loan menu.

13.4.6 NEW MORTGAGE LOAN REPORT

This report lists all mortgage loans that were entered either today or so far this month. The operator selects which period is to be printed.

This report can be printed at any time. Normally, it is printed at the end of each business day prior to the Transaction Journal update and at the end of each month.

From the Mortgage Loan menu, enter 25 for the New Mortgage Report. After selection of 25, the system requests which period is to be reported as follows:

Do you want a Daily or Monthly Report? (D/M): [ ]

Enter "D" to list all new mortgages that were entered today or enter "M" for all new mortgages entered so far this month and press RETURN.

The system begins to print the report as shown below and the Mortgage Loan Menu is displayed.

 

13.4.7 ESCROW REPORTS

Escrow reports are available for the proper management of individual escrow accounts. From the Mortgage Loan menu, select menu item number 26 for Escrow Reports and press RETURN.

The system will then ask which escrow report is required as follows:

1. Escrow Balance Report

2. Escrow Analysis Report

3. Payments from Escrow Report

Enter number of required report: [ ]

The Escrow Balance Report (selection 1) prints a Trial Balance of current escrow balances. The Escrow Analysis Report (selection 2) analyzes each mortgage on file to determine that the current escrow balance plus scheduled escrow payments will be sufficient to pay upcoming payments from escrow and recommends customer payment changes. The Payments from Escrow Report (selection 3) prepares a list of tax and insurance payments to be made during the coming month.

Enter the selection of the report required and press RETURN. The system will begin to print the requested report and return to the Mortgage Loan menu.

13.4.8 CALL REPORT

The Call Report prints loan totals (excluding participant amounts) by Federal Reserve call code. This report includes a past due spread by call code.

The Call Code report can be generated whenever a request is made for the information.

From the Mortgage Loan menu, enter 27 for Call Report. After selection of 27, the system begins printing the Call Report and displays the Mortgage Loan menu.

13.4.9 PRINT AMORTIZATION SCHEDULE

This procedure is used to print amortization schedules for mortgage loans. It can print complete schedules for new loans not yet on the system or remaining schedules for loans already in existence.

To initiate the procedure, select item number 28 from the Mortgage Loan menu and press RETURN. The system will display the following form on the screen:

The cursor is positioned after the name of your institution in the Lender Name field. Make sure that the lender name is correct and press RETURN. Then enter the Customer Number and press RETURN. If a customer with the number entered is on file, that customer's name and address will be displayed. Otherwise, you will have to key the name and address data. Press RETURN after each field requested.

Enter the Mortgage Loan Number and press RETURN. If a mortgage loan for the loan number entered is already on file, the current information will be displayed from the mortgage loan file. Otherwise, you will have to enter data in resp9onse to each of the prompts as follows:

Mortgage Amount: Enter the amount you wish amortized. This may be the current balance of the mortgage rather than the original amount.

Note Date: Enter the date the amortization is to begin in the format MM/DD/YYYY. If the schedule is for the remainder of an existing loan, this will be the date of the last payment.

Annual Percentage Rate: Enter the interest rate the customer is to pay in the format 99.9999%.

First Payment Date: Enter the date that the first payment will be due in the format MM/DD/YYYY.

Mortgage Insurance Rate: Enter the annual rate for Mortgage Insurance in the format of 99.9999%.

Payment per Year: Enter the number of payments to be schedule per year. e.g. 12 for monthly payments, 4 for quarterly payment, etc.

Options: The following prompts will appear as necessary. In no case will all of them appear for the same amortization schedule request.

Enter a "D" for a double-spaced schedule:

Type "D" for double spacing. Otherwise press RETURN.

Enter a "C" if the computer is to calculate the payment amount:

Type "C" if the payment amount has not been established. Otherwise press RETURN.

Enter the number of payments:

Type the total number of payments remaining on the loan.

Enter the payment amount:

Type the pre-established payment amount.

Enter a "P" if the payment amount entered is principal only and you want a fixed-principal schedule:

Fixed-principal schedules require a payment consisting of a fixed amount of principal plus interest. The payment amount will therefore decrease throughout the schedule as the interest amount decreases due to the decreasing balance.

If you want the note paid off after a certain number of payments, enter how many, otherwise press RETURN:

Entering a payment number in this field will cause a balloon payment equal to the remaining balance to be scheduled with that payment.

Enter an "A" for annual insurance calculation:

If you enter an "A" the mortgage insurance payment amount will be the same for each twelve month period and then be recalculated based on the scheduled balance at that time. If you press RETURN without entering an "A" the mortgage insurance payment will be recalculated for each payment based on the scheduled balance on the payment date and will therefore decrease with every payment.

Enter a "P" for a participation schedule:

If participant principal and interest figures are to be printed for each payment enter a "P". Otherwise press RETURN.

Enter a "C" to have the computer calculate the participant payment:

Type "C" if the participant payment amount has not been established. Otherwise press RETURN.

Enter the participant amount:

Enter the balance of the amount of the loan sold.

Enter the participant payment:

Enter the amount of each scheduled payment to be forwarded to the participant and press RETURN.

Enter the participant rate:

Enter the annual interest rate to be paid to the participant. This rate is included in the Annual Percentage Rate, not in addition to it.

Enter a "p" to have the participant paid off first:

If all principal payments received are to be applied to the participant balance until it is zero, enter a "P". Otherwise press RETURN and principal payments will be split between the bank and the participant using the same ratio as the bank and participant balance.

There are nnn days between the note date and the first payment. Enter a "D" if you want interest on the first payment figured on a daily basis:

If you want a normal periodic interest charge applied to the first payment period even though it is not a normal length, press RETURN without making an entry. Enter a "D" and press RETURN if you want the first payment's interest charged for the actual number of days in the period.

After responses have been made to all applicable prompts, the system will begin printing the schedule and will return to the Mortgage Loan menu. An example of an amortization schedule is shown below.

13.5.4 AUTOMATIC MORTGAGE PAYMENT NOTICES

This procedure prints notices of mortgage loan payments to be automatically deducted from customers' checking or savings accounts. It also can produce a report of the automatic payments including totals for payments from checking and savings accounts. Notices may be printed on a periodic basis for mailing in batches. Only mortgages with an appropriate Automatic Payment Code and Account Number will be included.

The printing of the notices does not automatically cause the loan to be credited with the payment amount and does not debit the corresponding deposit account. Neither are general ledger entries automatically prepared. The notices should be printed in duplicate with one copy to be mailed to the customer and the other copy to be used for entry into the system on the appropriate date.

Since the frequency of printing notices is not controlled by the system, the Automatic Payment Report should be printed and retained for future reference.

13.5.5 MORTGAGE LOAN PAYMENT COUPONS

This feature of the Mortgage Loan System prints payment coupons for customers to submit along with their mortgage payments. The coupons can be produced for an entire loan or for a portion of the remainder of a loan. In this way, payment amounts may be adjusted on a regular basis to reflect changes in interest rate or escrow requirements. One method is to print coupons for a year at a time and mail them with year-end mortgage statements.

To print payment coupons, select item number 44 from the menu and press RETURN. The system will then display the prompt:

Mortgage Number: []

You may print coupons only for mortgages which are on file. Enter the appropriate mortgage number and press RETURN. The system will display the customer's name followed by the prompt:

The message line for interest-bearing loans should contain a comment regarding distribution of principal and interest since the distribution will vary depending on the date the payment is received at the bank.

Heading: MORTGAGE PAYMENT COUPON[]

Enter message lines for normal coupons:

THANK YOU FOR BANKING WITH US.

SEE US FOR YOUR NEXT LOAN.

Enter message lines for final coupon:

      1. MORTGAGE LOAN STATEMENTS

Mortgage loan statements are mailed to customers at the end of each calendar year to inform them of the status of their escrow account, to provide them with the totals paid for tax and interest during the year, and to give them an opportunity to review the application of transactions during the year. Annual statement time is also the ideal time to adjust payments which must be changed due to changing escrow requirements, especially if payment coupons are used. If variable rate loans can be written with a year-end rate change, notice of that change can also be included with the statement to minimize mailing costs.

In addition to printing the statements, this procedure also deletes the past year's transactions and zeros all year-to-date fields in the mortgage loan files. It is essential that a system backup be performed prior to printing the statements. The procedure may be restarted if a problem occurs during the actual printing phase, but it may not be restarted without reloading from backup once the system has begun the necessary file reorganization.

To print mortgage statements, select item number 45 from the menu and press RETURN. The system will display the prompt:

Statement Date: mm/dd/yyyy[]

The system will display the current system date, normally the final day of the year. Verify that the date is correct and press RETURN. The system will then allow you to enter up to three lines of text to be printed on each statement. After you have entered the text, the following prompt will be displayed:

If this is a restart, enter the number of the first mortgage to be printed: []

If you are not restarting the run, press RETURN. Otherwise, enter the mortgage number for the first statement you want printed and then press RETURN. It is normally a good practice to start one or two statements back from your restart point to make sure that no statements are missed. The system will then print a sample statement and display the prompt:

Is the form aligned? (Y/N): []

Enter an "N" to print another sample or "Y" to begin printing the statements. An example of a statement is shown below. When the printing is complete, the system will display statement totals followed by the prompt:

Do you wish to reset the files for next year's processing? (Y/N): []

You will normally respond "Y" since the files must be reset before you may continue into the next year. However, you may delay the reset procedure to another time by responding "N" at this point. If you do respond with an "N", the system will display the following warning before returning to the Mortgage Loan Menu:

WARNING: These mortgage loan files may not be used for next year's processing until the reset procedure has been completed.

To perform the reset at a later time, perform a statement restart and enter a mortgage number higher than the one on the last statement printed and the system will immediately proceed to this prompt.

13.6.1 CUSTOMER/LOAN INQUIRY

The Customer/Loan Inquiry displays information about a specific customer or mortgage loan.

Inquiries are made by entering either a customer number or a mortgage loan number. If the request is made using customer number, the system displays the customer information and then requests whether data for a specific mortgage is to be displayed. There is also a provision for retrieving information using a customer's name.

From the Mortgage Loan Menu, enter 5 for Customer/Loan Inquiry. After the selection of item 5, the system displays the prompt:

Customer Number: []

If it is known, enter the number of the customer to be displayed. If you do not know the customer number, press RETURN and the system will proceed to the Mortgage Loan Number prompt. If you press RETURN again, the system will proceed to the Alphabetic Search function described in Section 3.3.3 of this manual. If a customer number is entered, the system displays the information from the customer record. The following screen is an example of the information displayed.

INSERT SAMPLE INQUIRY SCREEN HERE

 

The system then requests whether the detail for a particular mortgage loan is to be displayed. The system prompts:

Mortgage Loan Number: []

To display the detail for a mortgage loan, enter the mortgage loan number. If the number does not exist in the file, the system assumes that you want to enter a new mortgage. Refer to Section 13.3.1 for entry of a new mortgage loan. If the number does exist in the mortgage loan file, the mortgage information is displayed. As an option, you may press the up-arrow key, then scroll through the displayed accounts, and then press RETURN to select the highlighted account. This option allows you to switch to another application type based on the account selected. The following screen is an example of the information displayed when a mortgage loan is selected.

This procedure also allows you to process a transaction against the specified mortgage. After the mortgage loan information is displayed, the system displays the prompt:

Transaction Code: []

To enter a new transaction, refer to Section 13.3.3 for a description of transaction entry. To change customers, press RETURN only. To return to this customer's CIF display, enter 99 and press RETURN. To scan through the customer's mortgage loans, enter 98 and press RETURN. To view this mortgage's transaction ledger, enter 97 and press RETURN. (To see an example of a transaction ledger, refer to section 13.6.2)

When all inquiries have been completed, perform an ESCAPE operation to return to the Mortgage Loan Menu.

 

      1. DISPLAY MORTGAGE LOAN LEDGER
      2. The Display Ledger procedure displays the current year's account activity for a particular customer of for a single mortgage loan.

        From the Mortgage Loan Menu, enter a 6 for Display Ledger and press RETURN. After the selection of item 6, the system displays the prompt:

        Customer/Mortgage Number: []

        Enter the number of the customer or mortgage to be displayed and press RETURN. The system then displays the first page of the ledger on the screen. The following is an example of the information displayed.

        INSERT SAMPLE MORTGAGE LOAN LEDGER DISPLAY HERE

         

        After viewing the data, press RETURN to view the next page of the ledger or to return to the Display Ledger prompts after the last page. You may bypass viewing any remaining pages of the ledger by pressing the CANCEL or ESCAPE key at any time.

        The ledger for an individual mortgage may also be viewed by entering a transaction code 97 from the mortgage loan inquiry screen. If a ledger is displayed in this manner, pressing CANCEL at the end of a page or pressing RETURN after the final page will cause the system to return to the mortgage loan display.

         

      3. PRINT MORTGAGE LOAN LEDGER

The Print Ledger procedure is similar to the Display Ledger procedure (Section 13.6.2) except that the data is directed to a system printer rather than to a terminal screen. The procedure prints the current year's account activity for a particular customer of for a single mortgage loan.

From the Mortgage Loan Menu, enter a 7 for Print Ledger and press RETURN. After the selection of item 7, the system displays the prompt:

Customer/Mortgage Number: []

Enter the number of the customer or mortgage to be printed and press RETURN. The system then prints the ledger and returns to the Mortgage Loan Menu. The following is an example of the information printed.

    1. UTILITIES

The BANCADO Mortgage Loan system includes a set of utility procedures that are used to maintain the system files. These utility programs include procedures to:

Display status information about any desired file.

Compress a file to rearrange data space used by a file and reclaim unusable space.

Create and/or modify control records used by the system.

Change year-to-date interest.

Delete paid mortgages.

Remove mortgage transaction history from the system.

Rebuild a lookup file that is used by the system for maintaining customer and mortgage number relationships.

This section describes the steps necessary to complete the above functions.

Function Selection

Throughout this section you will be asked to select a particular function from the Mortgage Loan BANCADO Utilities Menu. The BANCADO Utilities Menu is selected from the Utilities portion of the Mortgage Loan Menu as shown below:

UTILITIES

96. Utilities

98. Just Ask

99. Change Applications

This section describes selection 96, Mortgage Loan Utilities. Selection 98 (Just Ask) is documented in the Just Ask User Manual. Selection 99 causes the system to return to the BANCADO Main Menu. To display the Mortgage Loan Utility Menu, enter 96 and press RETURN. The following menu will be displayed:

BANCADO UTILITIES

      1. Display File Status
      2. Compress File
      3. Edit Control Records
      4. Change Year-to-date Interest
      5. Delete Paid Mortgages
      6. Print and Purge Old History
      7. Build Lookup File
      8. Just Ask
      9. Change Applications

 

      1. DISPLAY FILE STATUS
      2. This utility produces a display of information about a mortgage loan data file. This information can be used to determine if the file needs to be compressed or resized. In exceptional cases, the information may also indicate that data records have been lost. An example of a file status display is shown below.

        INSERT A FILE STATUS DISPLAY HERE

         

      3. COMPRESS FILE
      4. Routine file editing procedures such as deleting records and changing record lengths can create temporarily unusable storage space in a data file. As a consequence, the time required to retrieve records and the likelihood of overflowing the file are increased. The Compress File Utility rearranges data space, reclaiming most of the unusable area.

        The Display File Status Utility (Section 13.7.1) is available to indicate whether a file needs compression. However, there is no harm in compressing a file which does not actually need it, and compression is generally run as a routine maintenance procedure. Some BANCADO application programs compress files automatically as noted in this manual.

        File compression is one of the operations that can damage data if interrupted by the operator or by hardware failure. It is mandatory to obtain a backup immediately prior to compressing a file.

        NOTE: Sort work files cannot be compressed.

        To compress Mortgage Loan files, select item number 2 from the Mortgage Loan BANCADO Utilities Menu and press RETURN.

        The system displays:

        FILE COMPRESSION

        ENTER FILE NO. []

        Enter the number of the desired file. The files you may compress are as follows:

        1 - Customer Information File

        2 - Mortgage Description File

        3 - Escrow File

        4 - Mortgage Accounting File

        7 - Mortgage Transaction File

        8 - Name Lookup File

        9 - Mortgage Number Lookup File

        The system compresses the file. Upon completion, the system displays:

        DONE

        Press RETURN to use this utility again or perform an ESCAPE function to return to the Mortgage Loan Menu.

         

      5. EDIT MORTGAGE LOAN CONTROL RECORDS
      6. This utility is normally used only by a BANCADO representative during system installation and during program updates. It is used to create and/or update special control records which contain control information such as balance and transaction totals and are maintained in the transaction file, file 7.

        To change the control records, select item number 3 for Edit Control Records from the Mortgage Loan BANCADO Utilities Menu and press RETURN. The system displays the current bank totals. For each item, press RETURN to accept the value or DELETE to enter a new value. The following is a sample of the display:

        INSERT SAMPLE EDIT BANK CONTROL TOTALS SCREEN HERE

        After all of the bank totals have been entered, the system displays the transaction codes and descriptions. For each item, press RETURN to accept the code or enter a new code. The following screen is a sample of the display:

        INSERT SAMPLE EDIT TRANSACTION CONTROL RECORD SCREEN HERE

        When all modifications are complete, press RETURN to return to the Mortgage Loan Menu.

         

      7. CHANGE MORTGAGE LOAN YEAR-TO-DATE INTEREST
      8. Although the capability to change year-to-date interest figures is available through the normal Change Mortgage Loan function, this procedure is provided because there may be a need to load year-to-date interest figures for all mortgage loans at conversion time and this procedure is much easier to use.

        To perform the Change Year-to-date Interest function, select item number 4 from the Mortgage Loan BANCADO Utilities Menu and press RETURN. The system will display the following screen:

        INSERT SAMPLE CHANGE YTD INTEREST SCREEN HERE

        Enter the mortgage loan number and press RETURN. The system will display the customer's name and the amounts for the specified mortgage. The system will request "Net Change" amounts for each of the fields shown. Any or all of the amounts may be preceded by a minus sign to decrease the figure on file unless the resulting amount would be negative. To leave a filed unchanged, press RETURN without an entry.

        To proceed to the next mortgage without making a change, press the CANCEL key. To terminate the procedure and return to the Mortgage Loan Menu, perform an ESCAPE.

         

      9. DELETE PAID MORTGAGES

This utility deletes paid mortgages. Because the user is responsible for determining the amount of time that a loan is to remain on file after it has been paid off, the system does not automatically delete paid mortgages. This procedure deletes paid mortgages by date; that is, all mortgages that were paid off prior to a specified date are deleted. The Delete Paid Mortgages program only deletes zero-balance mortgages after the interest for the current year has been cleared during the statement procedure. This is to ensure that customers receive proper information for the final year of the mortgage.

After a paid mortgage has been deleted, it will not be possible to display or print its ledger, but not that deleting paid mortgages does not affect the preparation of a customer ledger. The customer ledger is prepared using the customer transactions only.

To delete paid off mortgages, select item number 5 from the Mortgage Loan BANCADO Utilities Menu and press RETURN. The system will display the prompt:

DELETE MORTGAGES PAID OUT ON OR BEFORE: []

Enter the date of the most recent paid mortgages to be deleted from the file. The system automatically deletes all mortgages that were paid off on or prior to the specified date.

The system then automatically compresses the Mortgage Loan file and displays the number of mortgages deleted followed by the current date.

Press RETURN to display the Mortgage Loan Menu.

 

13.7.6 PRINT AND PURGE MORTGAGE LOAN HISTORY

This utility is used to delete transactions from the transaction file by users who do not wish to prepare mortgage statements. All transactions for paid out or deleted mortgage loans are deleted along with all transactions date on or before the date specified by the operator.

The system first prints a list of all transactions that will be deleted by this utility. You then have the option of deleting the transactions or terminating the procedure. Once the printing process has been completed and the deleting process has started, this procedure may not be restarted in the event of premature termination. It is therefore mandatory that a backup be obtained immediately prior to running this program.

From the BANCADO Utilities Menu, enter 6 for Print and Purge Old History. After selection of 6, the system displays the following prompt:

Delete transactions entered on or before: []

Enter the date of the most recent transactions you wish to delete and press RETURN. The system displays the message:

SORTING

followed by the message:

MERGING

and then the message:

PRINTING HISTORY

The system prints the history to be deleted and displays the prompt:

Do you want to delete the printed transactions? (Y/N): []

Enter "Y" to delete the transaction history, enter "N" to retain the transactions on the file.

When a yes response is entered, the system deletes the specified transactions and reorganizes the remaining transactions in the file. As the system performs the deleting and reorganizing, the following messages are displayed:

DELETING PAID HISTORY

REBUILDING TRANSACTION LISTS

Upon completion, the system automatically displays the Mortgage Loan Menu.

 

      1. BUILD MORTGAGE LOAN LOOKUP FILE

This utility is used to initialize and reconstruct the lookup file. Mortgage records are keyed by customer number and the lookup file keyed by loan number is used to locate mortgages through the entry of just the mortgage number. If a mortgage is not accessible without the use of the customer number, the lookup file has probably become corrupt, and the execution of this program will fix the problem.

From the BANCADO Utilities Menu, enter 7 for Build Lookup File and press RETURN. The system automatically initializes and rebuilds the file.

Upon completion, the system returns to the Mortgage Loan Menu.

CAUTION: If this program is terminated due to file error or power failure prior to normal completion, the utility must be restarted and completed before any customer or account lookup can be performed.
