Re: Cognos Catalogues for PMMS

[Alister Wm Macintyre <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We studied the Plant Tooling Preventative Maintenance stuff that came with 
BPCS 405 CD and determined that it did not serve our needs, so we assigned 
an item type and item class for Tooling, machinery, a range of item #s, and 
made some modifications in which certain fields of item master are used for 
tracking tooling usage, scrap percentage by machine, and other stuff to 
help us see which is in most need of preventative maintenance ... in other 
words we used existing BPCS file layout for some other purposes.

If you have files on AS/400, even if you not have the source code, you can 
use OS/400 commands to get at layout of the files ... e.g. DSPFFD
