Unicorn 2003 Corrections/Enhancements:

 

Acquisitions:

--Modify order for the current record now working correctly.

--Full fiscal cyle now displays and is not truncated (200 = 2003)

--Longer fund names will now fully display

--The display length of several fields was increased

--Current item carry over correct:

In some cases, the title of a previously modified order is
retained when modifying a different order. This behavior is
encountered when an order that had been created using the
Add Temporary Title button is modified, and then a title is
modified which had been created using the Skip Item
Lookup/Add button. The Current Item information for the
temporary title order is retained for the order that should
not be associated with any title. This has been corrected.
