Special Handling

Define the table and field layout for the Location Field Update batch program in this way:

  • Position 1: Enter 1 to include the table in the update.

    Enter 0 to omit the table from the update.

  • Position 2: Enter 1 to indicate that this table includes all 10 fields (aisle, bin, and location codes 03–10).

    Enter 0 to indicate that the table has fewer than 10 fields (typically, only aisle and bin, or perhaps none).

If you do not use 10 fields, enter 0 in position 2 to reduce processing time for the batch program.
