Repair Inventory Files - Sam4s SPS-500 Series Reference Manual

Repair Inventory Files

Database records can be corrupted or damaged by system crashes or other difficulties. This
utility will browse though your .PLU, .PRD, .SLD files and separate good records from bad
records. It will also remove any deleted records in the files. Good records for the .PLU file
will be repaired and saved. Bad records will be stored in a file called BAD.PLU. Both files
will be located in the store's folder under 2000\Stores. When finished use DOS Editor or
Notepad to look at BAD.PLU. These are the records that you will have to re-enter.
Before you proceed, copy the .PLU, .PDS, and .SLD files to a safe folder to avoid over-
writing them. You may need to go back to these original files.
This utility will also repair the Vendor file.
1. Choose PLU Programming, then PLU, and then Repair Inventory Files from the

3. Click Fix File. When complete press Exit to go back to main screen. You can view the
BAD.PLU file in Wordpad to check for corrupt data.
