[Unistats] When is a FATAL not a FATAL?

[Roni McDowell]

Dear Rob,

I fully agree that these messages should not be FATALs but would appreciate still seeing them as warnings - in case those of us with the system from hell find that the system has chosen to reset something like the commence date because it is basically evil!

When you're comparing data from this submission to data in prior submissions! That's when!

I'm tired of this type of "FATAL" error:

     3021: **  FATAL  ** - E328 (Course commencement date) different in prior and current submission files 
     3022: **  FATAL  ** - E315 (Gender) different in prior and current submission files
     3023: **  FATAL  ** - E314 (Date of birth) different in prior and current submission files 

Did it ever occur to anyone that they may have been wrong in the earlier submission?

They should be WARNINGS!

Let me have your views and then we'll lobby DEST.


Regards
Rob
