                OPERATIONS INFORMATION
   The operations information file allows collection of data
required for an automatic query for volume & work hours.  It
sets up a data file of volume categories by department.  All
entries are case sensitive & field length sensitive, there-
fore standardization of entry procedures is essential.  The
sample files were developed to demonstrate this sensitivity.
One way to overcome this is to leave the caps lock on all the
time (which is the condition of some systems after boot), &
always be sure to blank through every unused `-'.  If you
follow the instructions precisely that are given in the menu
driven system, you should have no problems.  It is
recommended that some preliminary thought be given to setting
up this file originally.  Additions may be made to the end of
the file but all subsequent files developed from this file
will reflect this same sequencing.  If you have major updates
that must be made, consideration should be given to re-
entering the file (this file should be relatively small),
for proper sequencing.  An edit routine is available to
correct field errors within the record.
