		<description><![CDATA[Some people use the term &#8220;rounding error&#8221; to indicate that an answer is right enough, although not perfectly right.  Those people think &#8220;accurate&#8221; and &#8220;precise&#8221; are two different concepts.  They may be experimental scientists or programmers, but they aren&#8217;t working in Accounting.  Accountants cannot and should not leave journal entries alone with rounding errors.

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re always happy yet apprehensive to get a new bundle of bug fixes for Peoplesoft. We anticipate that our applications will run more reliably, perhaps faster, and maybe with a few new features. The chore that nobody likes, though, is checking for Oracle&#8217;s changes that affect the Peopletools objects we have customized.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I worked on two SQR program bugs.  I rewrote the first one from scratch.  I wanted to rewrite the second one but didn&#8217;t.  Here is why.

The Rewrite
My organization has an in-house timecard system.  After the employees complete their timecards, their supervisors review and approve them.  Next, the department timekeepers review and approve them.  [...]]]></description>

What Are Dynamic Views?
We can use SQL views in Peoplesoft pages, PS Query, Application Engine programs, SQR programs, and database [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some organizations manage their workforces with positions.  A position specifies a job and a place on an organization chart, which can exist without a person or with more than one person.  Position management can give organizations more control over their structures, budgeting, and succession planning.
