Order Entry Additional Procedures

Reindexing is a dedicated function. Make sure no one is using order entry, working with the P-MASTER file, or using any sales journal you are reindexing while this procedure is in progress. For more details concerning reindexing order entry, see About Reindexing Order Entry.

  1. In the (TR) screen, select the [E] Pick File Report function.

  2. When the cursor moves to the Reindex field, type Y.

  3. At the Enter Password prompt, enter the password set in the Delete field in the (LGØ) Order Entry Parameters screen. If no password is set, press Enter.

  4. The (TE) File Reindex Screen appears. This screen lets you specify which indexes to rebuild.

  5. In the Pick Name field press Tab to accept the default, P-MASTER, or enter the name of the sales journal to reindex, P-INDEX, for example.

  6. The cursor moves to the Vol field. If you are reindexing P-MASTER, press Tab to accept the default volume serial. If you are reindexing a sales journal, enter the volume serial where the volume is located.

  7. The cursor moves to the first field beneath the file name column, P-INDEX, and the Mark File with an X to Reindex message appears. The system automatically marks the files that can be reindexed for the specified file name. (If an X does not appear for a specific file description, that file cannot be reindexed for the specified file name, nor does the cursor move to that field.)

  8. To accept the default files, press Enter when the cursor is in the P-INDEX field.

  9. To prevent a specific file from being reindexed, press Tab to move to each field and press the Spacebar to unmark the file.

  1. At the Are You Sure prompt, type Y to reindex the specified files.
