SM-J-A Work Order File Maintenance

Purpose of Program

The program performs a series of housekeeping functions on work order-related files, including deleting blank or duplicate records, deleting orphan records and noting transaction records that are dated prior to a work order start date.

You can run the program  in Report only mode and then For real.  In Report only mode it will show you the changes that will be made; when you run the report For real it actually applies the changes to the files.

General Program Operation

When you first start the program you are presented with a documentation file in a display window that explains how SM-J-C is used and specifically what it does to the various files.  You can either read this on the screen or press F10 (or click on the Print button) to print it out.  You can close this window by pressing <Esc> (or by clicking on the Exit button).

Next you are presented with a screen asking whether you wish to use report-only mode.  Enter Y or N as applicable.   The program reminds you that it is best not to have other users in the system processing work order related data while this program is run.  Finally, a report is generated listing changes made and recommendations for changes that need to be made manually.
