RE: Bundling Spool Files

[Chris Bipes <rpg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We modularized the reports to generate the individual report when passed the
customer data via an externally defined data structure.  You can run the
report individually using a main line that sorted / selected the customers
to print or as a group by executing each module from the main line.  One
customer, call report a, b, c...  We also put the DDS for the print files
into one large print file with separate record formats for each report and a
common header.  Now multiple reports for our customers can be run
individually or as a group.  With a Tick Mark we have automated the
sorting/stuffing into envelopes.

Once again We are heroes, till something else breaks...
