System Response

If the calculated date is within the last payroll period, the system
determines the end date of the previous payroll period. This end date is
then the date until which the system selects the data to be destroyed.
If the calculated date falls at the end of the last payroll period, this
end date is also the date until which the system selects the data to be
destroyed.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
