The Menus
3–14
The next three entries can be toggled to YES/NO by pressing the space bar.
The ‘Date/time stamp’ entry asks if you want each record stamped with the
date and time. The ‘Decode record headings’ entry asks if you want the 10
digit header changed from the original form of 0101000200 to the format of
01–01. The last entry for this field asks if you will be using a network with
the PCs. In other words, if there is more than one PC running on a LAN then
you would set this option to YES.
Press <F10> when finished, then press <F10>/‘X’ twice to get to the
‘Change Configuration’ menu. Press <F9>/‘S’ to save any changes made in
the capture field menu.
Now all data coming into NM that meets the criteria we just specified will be
stored in the file PUNCHIN. Any data that does not meet these specifications
will be stored in the default file “NM. DAT”. Up to 7 capture fields can be
set up with the eighth field being the default.
Overview of Capture Field Editing
This menu allows you to specify a name for the field, allows you to specify a
position in the record where the delineation character is to be found, and
allow you to name the file where the data is to be stored.
NM compares the incoming records with capture field 1, then capture field 2,
etc. until a match is found. If no match is encountered then the data will be
stored in the default file named “NM. DAT”.
Other fields in this menu enable NM to time stamp the data and format the
records slightly different.
Change Configuration / Menu Editing
NM was created with a flexible menu interface. The Main Menu, the
Supervisor Menu, and two user menus can be highly modified.
The names of the functions can be changed, the characters which invoke the
command can be changed, commands can be created by invoking DOS
commands, etc.
