[GNC] duplicate transactions exported

[Brook Milligan]

No, I mean exactly identical lines across the entire set of fields in the export file.  For example, one transaction ID has 12 lines in the original export file, which correspond to 3 identical copies of each of 4 different lines.  In this case, there are 4 splits in the transaction, so the 4 different line correspond to each of those splits.  I am concerned about the fact that there are 3 copies of each.

Why should that be?

Cheers,
Brook
