Manager Functions  -- Standalone Entry:

10.	Form a shortcut with the program SNC_View.exe with the command line [snctr5 4405 69], where snctr5 is a friendly name for the file server (if in use), 4405 is a store ID, and 69 is a file server terminal address.  All entries in the command line may not be used, but the format is necessary.

11.	All operations are the same on the standalone and the terminal.  The terminal shells off the SNC_View.exe for terminal operations.

Configuration and storage:    

1.	SNC_View.exe will create a storage directory with the path C:\Store\WS when first executed.  All work files will be stored in this WS directory.  Path names will be for example: C:\Store\WS\WS440513.csv for store 4405 week 13.

2.	A configuration file (WS.csv) will be in the C:\POS directory.  This file will contain inventory product names and the inventory number.  At the start of each week, this file is used to create the work sheet format.

3.	Communications can retrieve files from the WS directory at any time.
 
Cautions:

a.	All files are comma separated value structure for easy migration and editing; however, changes to the configuration file will reflect in work sheets created following the changes.

b.	All data in the work sheet are entered manually.
