Programming Methods
There are two ways to approach database programming:
❏ Programming by feature
❏ Programming by form
The most efficient way to program a new database or make
major changes to an existing database is to do so by form. If you
need to modify or enable a particular feature, then you should
do your programming by feature.
Using the Feature Reference Manual
The Feature Reference Manual is the primary reference to the
3700 system. The Feature Reference is an encyclopedia of
system features, from hardware to POS transactions.
Each feature has the following sections:
❏ Description
❏ Usage
❏ Examples
❏ Reports
❏ Enabling
❏ Related Topics
The Enabling section provides a summary of the options and
fields that make the feature work.
Programming by Feature
Some features may require programming a combination of
components in several different forms. For example, to enable
the suspend/resume feature, you must program fields or options
in the RVC Transactions, Employee Classes, and Tender/Media
forms.
Some features of the 3700 system require you to define a single
option. In the case of double-wide printing, for example,
selecting a single option enables the feature.
Introducing POS Configurator and POS Configurator’s online
help module do not provide instructions for programming
specific features. When programming by feature, refer to the
3700 Feature Reference Manual.
