Re: 4.05 CD Batch INV500 pgm ?

[Al Mac <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is overcast here, we been storming.

Eons ago on a version of BPCS before 405 CD, before I knew as much as I do now.

I made a clone of INV500, that simulated the input of a particular
transaction effect, fed to the program from a work file that some other
program supplied.  Instead of the fields being populated by some human at a
keyboard, they were populated from the work file and the logic.  Damned
inefficient code, but it worked.  Hundreds of transactions went into BPCS
every day without a human being having to key them.  We were using it to
automate scrap reporting, something that comes with 405 CD and was not
available on the earlier version.

405 CD people can do this kind of thing because we have the source code,
not available at later versions of BPCS.
