Mail Utilities (MLUL)

1.   By default, the listing of customer purchases in Version 6.0 will be an index file, as opposed to a sequential file.  The result is an immediate display of information in response to the selection of the MLM "Title" command button.  This will be a time saver in viewing this information, because it will eliminate the necessity of having to wait for the computer to read its entire file.  This will have no effect on reducing the time necessary for the MLP Report.

A consideration in whether or not to use this feature is the fact that four times as much disk space is required for the index file.  Therefore, before conversion to Bookstore Manager Version 6.0, "TRAK-INDEX" in SYS, Environment will need to set at "N," if it is decided not to use this feature.

 

2.   The new "Create Full Names" option in MLUL is used for conversion of new A/R customers that are to be added to the mail list.
