Table maintenance uses tables of data that contain records made up of
multiple fields. An example would be a price checking application that
lists the item number, a description, a size and a price. Upon scanning
the item number, the associated data (description, size and price) would
be displayed on the TriCoder. Any of these fields may be designated as
updateable and can be then edited and written to the data file. To use
Table maintenance, enter these characters:
M1M (table 1)
M2M or (table 2)
M3M (table 3)
Pick Lists are a specific type of application that is usually associated
with order filling or other warehouse activities. Pick Lists typically tell
the user where to go to find an item, the item number and how many to
pick for the order. To access a Pick List, use:
P1P
P2P or
P3P
To transfer the order number from the pick list to the data file to be
uploaded, use:
O1O
O2O or
O3O
