SM-J-L Change Part Numbers
Purpose of Program
Use this program to change a item number across all files in the system that contain records for that item number. Generally this is used during system start-up when item numbers are subject to revision or as part of an overall renumbering of item numbers.
CAUTION: Be aware that this program changes history files as well as master files.
General Program Operation
Enter the existing item number or look one up via the F2 key (or click on the Lookup button) in the Old Part No field. Enter the new item number in the New Part No field. You are then given a warning that this program could take possibly hours to run, depending on the size of your data files. If you elect to proceed you will see each file name display in sequence as the item number records get changed.
