The program description deals with the following:
Data of the internal MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application program can be updated with this program, i.e. new data can be programmed, other data can be changed or cleared. Stored data can also be displayed for information purposes.
All update programs, reports, sales programs, etc. called up from the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS environment are stored here and can be updated with this program.
Individual programs, independent of the program type, are linked to the appropriate groups. The entry mask for the programs of each group can differ as data for the program call-up has to be updated independent of the Program type.
All options available for update of the basic data have been described below.
As with nearly all programs the following also applies here:
Field with defined selection options
Select one of the prompted program types by clicking onto the field and activating the required type of program from the options offered with a repeat click.
The following program types are available:
Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 9999
Enter the number of the application for which data is to be updated.
If a new application is to be programmed enter a free no. in the key fields.
Changes or clear operations can be carried out by calling up the data record with the appropriate no. entry in the key fields. The data record can also be selected with the Search.
Entry range permitted: alphanumeric, max. 20 pos.
The internal name of the application is entered in this field.
Entry range permitted: alphanumeric, max. 20 pos.
The internal name of the FSM file is entered in this field. FSM stands for Finite State Machine . The functioning is defined in these files.
Entry range permitted: alphanumeric, max. 20 pos.
The internal name of the 4GL file is entered in this field. 4GL is an interpreter language with which report programs are written. The commands of a 4GL file are interpreted during program run. Users who are acquainted with the 4GL language can adapt reports to suit their own requirements.
Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 99
The number of the application group to which this application is to be linked is entered in this field.
The data record can be selected with the Search.
Access of operators to application areas (sales, stocks, organisation etc.) can be restricted. This is done by defining specific access authorisations for programs of an application group in a group profile. This defines which activities in which sectors can be handled by which operator.
Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 99999999
Enter the number of the frame of this application in this field. The frame no. refers to a form in which the layout of the program window (as it appears on the screen) is defined.
