The function names used here have been edited to be more descriptive. The second list provides a detailed description and discussion of each function. Using the two letter mneumonic the reader can find the same function in both lists. To determine the user's origin location the programs obtain the user's name and then search the file for the corresponding location. For this reason the program must know the user's name and the name must have an entry in the file.
Many functions require one or more locations be supplied.
This function first has the user select a shipment and then updates the database to change the control number to the one given. The function should be removed, as it will not work when multiple projects are written on a single tape. It is only used on the rare occasion when a tape arrives which is only to be degaussed. This function marks a tape as being removed from service. This printed form shows a tape list and other attributes of the shipment.
