B Import Mass Data into Quality Management

Several interactive programs can run in batch mode and accept data from a Z file, allowing you to process mass amounts of data from an outside source easily and efficiently using existing programs to validate the data.

You can process any number of records to add, change, or delete. You also have the advantage of:

• Data selection to limit the records you want to process.

• Processing options that allow you to choose the version of the interactive program to process the records.

• Error report printing.

Generally, the DREAM Writer program number corresponds to the screen and program number with a Z appended to the end and the Z file numbers correspond to the program file number with a Z appended to the end. For example, P3701Z corresponds to the Test Revisions program (P3701) and F3701Z corresponds to the Test Definitions Master File F3701.

See:

• Import Using Z File Processing in the JD Edwards World Technical Tools Guide for detailed information about Z file processing.

• Overview to Import/Export in the JD Edwards World Technical Tools Guide for information about importing data into the system.

The following table includes the Quality Management Z file processing programs.

Program	Program Name	Z File Program	Z File
P3701	Test Revisions	P3701Z	F3701Z
P3702	Specification Revisions	P3702Z	F3702HZ (header) and F3702DZ (detail)
P3711	Test Results Revisions	P3711Z	F3711HZ (header) and F3711DZ (detail)

Navigation

From Quality Management (G37), choose Z File Processing

From Manufacturing Z File Processing (G3001Z), choose an option

Processing Options

See the appropriate set of Z file processing options in Chapter 13, "Test Results Processing Options".

Data Selection

Do not change the existing data selection. The Processed Y/N field is set to NE Y. This prevents the program from processing records more than once.

You can add additional selections to limit the data.

Data Sequence

Do not change the data sequence.
