<< <> >>› HOW TO PREPARE A PROFESSIONAL› TREASURER'S REPORT THE BEST EASY WAY› WITH TURBOBASIC!›› by Ron Fetzer, member of OL' HACKERS› ATARI USERS GROUP, Inc., NY›› (For XL/XE only!---Program will be› found on this OHAUG newsletter, as› "TREASRPT.ARB!)›› NO VOLUNTEERS?› Do you belong to a Computer› Club, Civic Association, Sports Club› or a Charitable Organization and have› difficulty in finding someone to› accept the position of TREASURER? Are› your club's finances in a mess? Is› your treasurer's report written on› the back of an old envelope? We now› have help for you. Just use the› "TREASURER'S REPORT PROGRAM" and your› troubles will be over.›› FINDING A TREASURER THE EASY WAY!› The program makes it so easy to› be a treasurer of a club that you› will have no problem finding a› volunteer. The program prints a› professional report that is easy to› read without being an accountant. The› program is written in modular TURBO› BASIC XL and runs only on the Atari› XL/XE computers.›› THE SOLUTION.› The "TREASURER'S REPORT" is very› intuative and easy to use. Most› likely you don't even have to read› the docs. It is also heavily error› protected to prevent typo mistakes› and wrong entries. The program› accepts up to 200 income items and up› to 200 expense items.› The program is completely menu› driven, and the menu is self› explanatory. You have 8 items on the› menu. They are: 1. DIRECTORY, 2.› START PROGRAM, 3. VIEW ON SCREEN, 4.› PRINT, 5. SAVE, 6. LOAD, 7. ERASE A› FILE, 8. END. Since I am the› Treasurer of the OL' HACKERS I put› everything in the program that I› wanted as a treasurer.›› HOW TO:› To use the program you go to› option #2 on the menu "START› PROGRAM". After the menu screen you› come to the "INFORMATION SCREEN".› Here you answer some prosaic› questions like today's date, your› name, the clubs name etc. When you› are finished, you will be in the› "INCOME" section. You enter one› income item after the other in the› program. First you enter a› description of the income item and› then the amount of the income. Do not› use a comma (,) or "$" in the› entries. When you are finished with› the income items and you want to go› to the "EXPENSE" section of the› program just leave the "INCOME NAME"› blank and enter "00" for the INCOME› AMOUNT". There will be a prompt at› the bottom of the screen to remind› you of this. You can even type in a› name for this last item such as "END"› etc. It will not be recorded by the› program because you entered "00" for› the amount.› The "EXPENSE" section works› exactly like the "INCOME" section.› You just enter all the expense items.› When you are finished you enter "00"› for the amount and you will be› directed to the menu again.› › WANT TO SEE/PRINT IT?› You now can view your program› on the screen or print it. You can› also save it to a disk. In the SAVE,› LOAD and ERASE A FILE options you› just have to enter a file name› without a disk drive designation. The› program assumes that it is drive #1.› A loaded file can only be "VIEWED" or› "PRINTED".› With the "VIEW ON SCREEN" option› I put convenient scrolling stops into› the program so you can examine the› report in an intelligent manner. With› this option all the basic information› is displayed on the screen.› With the "PRINT" option you get› a fully formatted professional› treasurer's report printed out on› paper. It wil have your clubs name as› the headline, the date of the report,› the old balance and the date, the› income and expense items and a› running current balance. It will also› show you the "TOTAL INCOME" as well› as the "TOTAL EXPENSES" on your› report. The penultimate item will be› the new balance and its date. The› final item on your report will be the› name of the person who prepared the› report. You can also specify how many› copies of the report you want to› print.› › WANT TO SEE THE DIRECTORY?› Also take a look at the› "DIRECTORY" option. It gives you much› more information than just a› directory listing. I included a› provision to erase MEM.SAV in the RAM› DISK D8 in order to give you more› free RAM space. This option also› checks what REVESION BASIC you are› using. Since TURBO BASIC XL is not a› built in BASIC the directory option› says "NO BS". There are many other› features that you will see with this› option.›› WHICH PRINTER WILL WORK!› The program is written for EPSON› and compatible printers. If your› printer is not compatible you can› easily change the few printer control› codes to your printer's codes. They› are clearly indicated in line #1330 -› 1380. If you live in a country other› than the U.S.A. you might want to› change the "$" to your country's› currency symbol. The "$" appears in› lines 530, 630, 790, 1000, 1010,› 1040, 1120, 1130, 1160, 1170, 1520,› 1580, 1600, 1640, 1670, 1690 and› 1700. This is to make the program› useable to our members in other› countries as well.›› HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS-EVEN OF YOUR WIFE› If you or your wife or someone› you know belongs to a club or an› organization then give them the› "TREASURER'S REPORT" program, they› will love it. Being a treasurer with› this program makes the job easy. Not› only will you save a lot of time but› you also will receive compliments on› the clarity and completness of your› treasurer's reports. In addition you› did not have to struggle with spread› sheets, data bases, check balancing › programs and calculators. You can now› sit back and enjoy your club and bask› in the prestige of having a job well› done.›› BRAVO:› (Ed. Once again RON has come in with› a winner. Write to him or me and let› us know how you like the program).›› << end >>
