The program description deals with the following:
The data of the internal MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application programs type Report can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed for information.
Normally, individual programs are linked to the appropriate group. The entry mask for the programs of each group can vary as the data for program call-up to be updated depending on the Program type also differs.
The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.
