Title master validation

This facility validates all titles in the Title masterfile by checking the fields against specific control files and data files for verification. Any title found with invalid data is listed along with its description, the invalid data and the error message.  This utility is very useful when, for example the hierarchy is changed or the codes on a Control file are changed.
