DHES

Hello. Would it be possible to have POS export the stock table to a file automatically when the global register is closed (all lines with non-zero stock number & sales)? Or a way of exporting it without going into POSCONFIG where employees can mess up stock numbers?

Thanks.

Guest,

Nope.

Although when the POS program closes you can set it up to run another program. For example a .BAT file that will backup the entire stock table to a floppy or other drive / folder.

If you want to make DHPOS run a batch (.BAT) file upon closing, the instructions about this feature are at http://www.dhpos.com/discuss/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=322

Basically you need a file called POS_NEXT.DAT which contains the path/filename of a program/batch file to run. DHPOS checks for the presence of this file upon exiting.

The program you would want to run would most likely be a batch file which contains the DOS commands to copy your stock table (TBL) files to another location. For example (untested):
This code is in three parts:

1) COPY is the DOS command to copy files/folders.
2) MARTHA.TBL is the name of your register, plus the .TBL extension.
3) C:\POSBKUP\MARTHA.TBL tells the computer to copy the file in part 2, to the folder POSBKUP on C drive.
