This interface consists of two executables.  The first is CCS2BUK and converts Country Club Systems member master file to a bucket file, a text file listing names first, and a text file listing numbers first.The second is CCS, which allows the operator to select from a range of dates and then generate an export file in a format that Country Club Systems can read.
Installation

Both executables should be placed in the TOOLS directory.  The application then needs to be styled to allow input of the member number with proper updating of the WORD variables as detailed below.
Technical

CCS2BUK requires that a copy of the file ACCTFILE.DAT be present in the DATA directory.  It then generates a bucket file called CCS.BUK. The bucket contains the member account number starting in column 1 and
the member name starting in column 41.  Both can be accessed using the MEMO variables.  It also generates a text file called CCSALPHA.TXT.  This file lists member names followed by account number and is designed for
use with LIST-IT.  The command line for the LIST-IT shell should be:

    LIST-IT /V=57 /F=DATACCSALPHA.TXT

If Get Variables is checked in the shell, Bucket Row will be set to the selected line.  Since CCSALPHA.TXT corresponds line for line with CCS.BUK, you can now do a Get Variable From Bucket command to retrieve
the member name and account number.

A second text file called CCSNUM.TXT is also created.  It works identically like CCSALPHA.TXT except that numbers display first.

CCS creates an export file in the REPORTS directory with a file name called CCS and an extension with the 3 digit day of the month.  For example, an export for the 15th would be called CCS.015.

Member numbers are alphanumeric and may be up to 16 characters.  When closing the check, WORD1 must hold the first 6 characters, WORD2 the second 6 characters, and WORD3 the last 4 characters.  If the check is not to be exported, then all 3 WORD variables must be blank.  Additionally,overrings will not be exported regardless of the contents of the WORD variables.  Because of limits imposed by CCS as to what they can input,the following styling restrictions apply:

  1. The first two characters of the nodename must be numeric to export it.  For example, CASHIER would not export but 01CASHR would.
  2. Server numbers are restricted to 3 digits maximum.
  3. Items in report group 0 will export as group 99.

Revisions

6/20/96  – CCS 1.01

    Corrected bug that could intermittently cause full or partial duplicate postings for checks being tallied at a spot where CCS read in a 30K journal block.         

6/25/96  – CCS2BUK 1.01

    Will now make LIST.TXT file in DATA directory for use with LIST-IT.               

6/28/96  – CCS2BUK 1.02

    Renamed LIST.TXT as CCSALPHA.TXT and created second text file called CCSNUM.TXT.

9/17/96  – CCS 1.02

    Corrected bug that caused negative group totals to report as zero.

4/29/97  – CCS 6.00 & CCS2BUK 6.00 

    Upgraded to version 6.  Removed requirement that DOS Share be running.  Overrings will not be exported.

5/13/97  – CCS 6.01

    Corrected bug that caused detail information not to export when departments were assigned to PLUs.

1/27/00 – CCS 6.02  rw

    Recompiled with new Choose a Date Subroutines.  This makes CCS Y2k.  It also expands the number of days to 600 and will no longer error out if there are too many dates in the reports directory.
