Changes:
The method used to print the receipt header data on a customer reciept has been changed to make it simpler and easier to maintain.
RASWIN will automatically create header records in the MISCPARMS table that will serve as a template for you customer receipts. These records will look like this:
You will need to make sure that the LICENSE table has the correct information on each record. This includes your location name, department code, address-1, city, state, zipcode, and phone number.
When a receipt is printed (or reprinted) the program will check the register number, then get the
information related to that register number from the database, and print it on the receipt.
The need to maintain seperate header records for different locations or departments is thus eliminated.
-
All screens/processes that previously created Excel files have been changed to create CSV files instead. The Excel mechanism we were using could be slow for larger exports and could be cumbersome to set up. By switching to a CSV format, these exports are created much faster and are directly importable into Excel or other compatible spreadsheet program such as Open Office, LibreOffice, etc.
You can control the delimiter the export will be using via a
MISCPARM
setting.
CSV-EXPORT-DELIMITER. This can be set to
COMMA, or
TAB, or any litter character you want, such as a vertical bar. Default value is
COMMA. Be careful not to use any character that would appear in your data.
A second
MISCPARM
setting controls whether the field names for the columns are included on the first line of the export file. This setting
CSV-EXPORT-INCLUDE-FIELD-NAMES. The default value is
YES.
One note: when importing to Excel, if you have fields (such as a
TRAN_CODE
that can contain numeric and character data, e.g, '1234','1234A') Excel will generally format some fields as text, and others as numeric. This was true for the native Excel imports as well. These can easily be formatted within Excel to be text.

- Changes:
-
A correction to the user defined reports was made to correct an issue causing the cashier name to repeat on all lines rather that the correct name associated with the user id.
June 27, 2023
- Changes:
-
The
EXPORT TABLE DATA
function has been adjusted to also create a tab‑delimited export file along with the SQL script files. This permits much fast loading of your tables when they are sent to Quadrant for support purposes.
January 13, 2023
- Maintenance release to correct a few issues that have cropped up over the last few weeks.
-
The
TABLE MAINTENANCE
function has been adjusted to correct an issue with not recording changes made to the
MXLOGFILE
table.
-
In earlier versions if the user pressed the
ESC
key while on the receipt summary screen, the program would ask for confirmation that the user really wanted to cancel the receipt. At some point this fall we removed the prompt, since pressing
ESC
was an explicit user action to quit the current receipt. We have restored the confirmation prompt.
-
VOID REASONS
were not properly printing on a receipt. This has been corrected.
-
Receipts with multiple payer names were being recorded to the database correctly, but the printed receipt only showed one payer name. A
MISCPARMS TABLE
setting controls whether the
First payment record name, or the
Last payment record name is placed in the
RECEIPT HEADERS TABLE. This setting is
RECEIPT‑HEADER‑PAYER‑NAME‑OPTION.
If the setting is not
F
it is treated as
L.
-
The
MISCPARMS TABLE
setting
PMT‑PAYER‑NAME‑REQUIRED
was not functioning correctly. The valid settings are:
Y
: Always required.
N
: Never required.
O
: Optional entry.
Any setting other than the three shown about will be treated as
Y.
