Re: CORRECTED RESEND: JBA ML - Bill of Materials

Sounds like what you really need is a good programmer...
There was someone on here a few days ago looking for work...
Maybe he could do a contract assignment with you...

That's a nice looking report and it would be a shame if you lost the ability to
use it...

Good luck...


I looked at 25 & 27/MDEs output but it's pretty rough for comprehensive
indented reports (I think every part was on its own page and it included a
lot of labor and other info that was unnecessary).

Traditionally we had a custom RPG program that built the report and another
to print it. The layout was very clean with all sub processes indented and
in a continuous flow. The problem we've run up onto as of late is that new
parts are not being included in the comprehensive BoM and the creator of the
program is no longer with us - sucks.


This is an example of the layout we get with our printing. The data itself
is changed for purposes of this example:

PARENT       G655X803CC       BLANK YOKE                  M   DDREE
1            G655C803CCTF     BLANK YOKE, TRANSFER        M   FR-08
.2           G655CX01/03BCBL  BLANK YOKE, BLANKING        M   FR-09
..3          QM655C8013BC     COIL 2.22mm*311mm SPXCT-SD  P
PARENT       G655CX04CC       BLANK YOKE                  M   MXCCC
1            G655C804CCTF     BLANK YOKE, TRANSFER        M   FR-08
.2           G654CD02/04BC4D  BLANK YOKE, BLANKING        M   FR-09
..3          G1455C8024BC     COIL 2.30*294mm SPCCT-SD    P

As you can see it is easy on the eyes. I might be missing something with
respect to Sys21's capabilities. If so please advise.
