Re: SYS020B - Calculate available Inventory Qty's

[Alister Wm Macintyre <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're 405 CD MM

As a general rule none of the programs starting with digit 0 as in 001-099
and especially dangerous are the SYS ones
should be run without thorough research as to their function.

Some of them are designed to zero out master BPCS files and reset values 
like in a conversion.

I hope that you are using a test environment when you run any SYA001-SYS099 
to see what they do.

There are some that are not intended to be run stand-alone.
In other words, some other program internally has a CALL to get some info.
For example someone is on INV300 or some other inquiry program.
They set their filters - they interested in the whole item corporate, or 
just within a facility, or just within a warehouse, and BPCS calculates for 
them what the on-hand is.
Well perhaps the routine, subroutine, or CALLed program depends on whether 
the data needs to come from file IIM ILN ILI IWI or whatever
and such a called program would normally be run when the CALLER program 
already knows what to tell it, based on what the user fed into the inquiry 
probram.
