  Export Direct Deposit File Prompt Options
  Destination ID	To load the correct export file name and path, enter the Destination ID that was defined during Direct Deposit Export Destination Maintenance.  (up to 20 characters) Note:  The Destination ID also defines the file type and the file definition (layout).
  Destination File	Leave the default value for the path and the export file name.  (up to 80 characters) Example:  c:\payrollexport\prdirdep.txt Notes: This path is defined for the Destination ID during Direct Deposit Export Destination Maintenance.  Although you can override it, it is usually correct to leave the default value. You can store the export file on your local drive (c:\) or on a server. All folders specified in the path (payrollexport in the example) must exist at the time you run the Export Direct Deposit File process.  However, the system will create the export file (prdirdep.txt in the example) if it does not already exist.
