PeopleBooks has a gawd awful bit of SQL to resolve the SEC-28 error for Invalid entries in the PSAUTHITEM table. It is impossible to actually run the SQL as there is a mismatch of “(” and “)”. There is an additional “)” at the end of the query. I have tested this on my personal HRDMO89/PT8.49.09 installation and it cleaned up the SEC-28 errors just fine. I have cleaned up the SQL for that Query below:
