New/Improved ATARI$AVL:SEEALL

(1 / 1)


         Introducing the all new and revised ATARI$AVL:SEEALL

SEEALL is a fast, convienient way to get AVL, USAGE, COST, STOCK, WHEREUSED, and
PURCHASE ORDER information about an part.  The user may configure SEEALL
to report only those items which are of interest.

SEEALL only works on node MIKE.  To use SEEALL, at the system prompt ($) type:

                       RUN ATARI$AVL:SEEALL

SEEALL will look for a file named SEEALL.INI in your default directory, if it
doesn't exist, SEEALL can create it using user-selectable options.  

You can change your default configuration or output-file from within SEEALL by 
entering the word SETUP or OUTPUT at the "Atari Part Number [EXIT]:" prompt.

You can also define a logical word in your LOGIN.COM to run SEEALL, such as:

                   SEEALL :==$ATARI$AVL:SEEALL

this would allow you to use several different config files with SEEALL by 
entering:
                      SEEALL [config-file]

at the system prompt ($).


If you want to create or modify your own config files, the syntax is simple,
just enter the options you want, in any order, at the left margin of your
ASCII config file, leaving the remainder of the line blank.

Your choices are:

	USAGE		lists the parts current period usage (6/1/89-TODAY)
	VENDORS		lists the approved vendors for the part
	STOCK		stock status
	WHEREUSED [n]	the parts where-used report
	PO [n]		purchase orders for the part
 
where n = the maximum iterations of the function you wish to have performed,
the default is to list all WHEREUSED or PO references.

Blank lines or lines not containing a valid option are ignored.

here's a sample config file to show a little of everything;

USAGE
VENDORS
STOCK
WHEREUSED 3
PO 2
