DTAUS0.TXT
first export
The
program description deals with the following:
- Remarks on Program function
Not only the functioning of this program but also the links to other
programs are described here.
- Remarks on Data fields
- Use Index to find the field
details required.
Recordings
finalised with payment type Debit are stored in file DebitPay.DAT (in the
database of the server or client). Two steps are necessary before the disk can
be forwarded to the bank.
- Export to DTAUS0.TXT
Step 1: The data is parked on the hard disk. The data records of
DebitPay.DAT are written into file DTAUS0.TXT with program DTAUS0.TXT first export. At the
beginning of the program the system checks whether the file DTAUS0.TXT
already exists. If file DTAUS0.TXT does not exist, the file will be
created automatically. If it exists, the query WARNING! DATAUS0.TXT overwrite? appears. Click
onto OK to continue the program. Change to the program mask. It is then
possible to define with switch Add
to DATUS0.TXT whether the data is to be appended or overwritten. When
data records are exported to DTAUS0.TXT the transferred data records in
the DebitPay.DAT are dated; they are not cleared. This allows for repeat
access to the data (e.g. defective disk, see program Repeated export). Dated data records can
no longer be exported "for the first time". The program is
finalised with printout of a Protocol
and the Data medium docket (also known
as disk docket). If the export is done in several steps, only the debit
data records last added will be printed.
- Copying data from DTAUS0.TXT onto disk
Export to a disk is done
with program Copy DTAUS0.TXT on disk.
The
following description deals with all available options for update of this basic
data.
As with
nearly all programs the following also applies here:
- The entry mask
for this program may differ in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. Some data fields may be missing.
- There may be defaults or firmly defined selection
options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current
program.
- In some cases you may find so-called
"Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with
button <Mouse key 1>, depending on the setting. Activated switches
have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.
Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 9999
Select
the number of the company to which the branch is linked and which is
responsible for export of the debit data records. If the number is not known,
the data record can be selected with the search
function.
Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 9999
Select
the number of the branch responsible for export of debit data records. If the
number is not known, the data record can be selected with the search function.
All banks
programmed with Bank are shown in the selection window.
Select
the bank to receive the debit payments.
Window with firmly defined selection options
The
format of the disk to which the data records are to be exported is defined
here. The standard format is 1,44 MB (3,5" disk).
Switch active: A detailed protocol is
printed.
Switch deactivated: A short
protocol is printed.
The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS
application allows for two report versions:
- Standard: a short protocol containing the
selection criteria is printed. If incorrect data records are found, these
will be shown in all detail. The docket accompanying the disk is always
printed.
- If the switch is activated, a detailed report,
i.e. this report also shows every data record with the related data in
addition to the data shown in the short report. The protocol can be viewed
under DTAUS0.TXT protocol.
Switch active: The data records will be
added.
Switch deactivated: Existing data
records will be overwritten.
If the
DTAUS0.TXT is not cleared manually on the UNIX level, it normally always has
data records. All data records which are found in the DebitPay.DAT without a
transfer date are added to the data records found in DTAUS0.TXT. This allows
export to be done in several steps.
If the
switch is deactivated, all existing data records in the DTAUS0.TXT are
overwritten, independent of the number of new data records.
The entry
in this field defines the number of disk dockets. The default in this field is
1, but this value can be overwritten.
This
field defines the width of the left-hand margin of the docket. The default is
12 (positions) and has been defined to allow the docket to be filed. Normally,
this value is accepted.
This
field defines the steps in which data records are shown in field Record no.. Default 10 is displayed, i.e.
every 10th data record is shown. The entry in this field can be
overwritten.
Note:
- The larger the number of record nos. to be
displayed, the more time is needed. If a General
protocol is selected, the value can be set to 0 as this protocol lists
all data records.
The
current number of data records exported is shown during the transfer operation.
This field cannot be edited. The Step
display defines which record is to be displayed.
