A BPCS standard that I need to copy in my programming. When you are at a screen with a field like customer number you can put the cursor on that field & F4 to get at a list of customers. There are also links ... some function key gets you to a screen that has name & address & other info about the customer. You might look into how fax/400 functions. We do not have it but my understanding is that you can be at a screen & you want this info to go via fax, so there may be some screen capture software supported there. What they want & what they are asking for, are not the same thing. There are other alternatives to meeting their request. >From the screen that has customer # for which they want to send info to the customer, you could have a function key that calls a program & passes to it the customer # & any other relevant information, then the called program accesses the information they want & puts it into a form that will be meaningful when transferred from 400 to PC for whatever further processing. > I need to update the list, folks. > > What management really wanted was th ability to have the cursor on a > customer number, mash a function key, and then import the customers > name and address via mailmerge into a promotions/past due/we're moving > type of document. > > It always gets better when the specific request is unwrapped (kinda like > a Christmas present, eh?).
