B Import Mass Data into Manufacturing Systems

You can use the Work Order Category Revisions - Z File program (P48016Z) to run Work Order Category Revisions (P48016) in batch mode and accept category codes from the Work Order Category Revisions - Z File (F48016Z). This allows 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.

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.
