Release Items: General Notes

Release items are named for the time of delivery:  year (yy), month (mm)
and sequential number within the month (nn); for example, item 1201-02 is
is the second item released in January 2012.

The yymm-nn.zip file that accompanies each release item delivers the following
files, as needed, for upgrading FINANCIER (TM):

  syyymmnn.txt     - A sequential file, created with the
                     SYSOBJH utility, containing source code for
                     replacement module(s)
                     (RECFM=FB, LRECL=96, BLKSIZE=6240)

  dcyymmnn.txt     - A text file containing Dictionary data for input 
                     to the Dictionary Import program (WCDICIMB)
                     (RECFM=FB, LRECL=975, BLKSIZE=9750)

  ugyymmnn.pdf     - A PDF file containing replacement pages for the
                     FINANCIER(TM) User Guide

  modulename.htm   - If modifications to pre-existing code is delivered, 
                     differences will be reported via a modulename.htm file.
                     These are also found in the release notes on the WolffPack
                     web site.  
  
  yymm-nn folder   - The old and new versions of the program can be found in a 
                     folder named yymm-nn                     

When feasible, WolffPack provides two alternative methods for updating FINANCIER: 
  - You can enter changes manually using the source code differences found in the
    zip folder or displayed when you click on the item number in the
    Product Release Table.

  - You can load replacement module[s] in the styymmnn.txt file using 
    the SYSOBJH utility.

For large updates, only replacement modules are posted.

If the zip file includes a Dictionary extract file, you must run the program 
WCDICIMB to apply Dictionary changes.  Also, you must print, duplicate (2-sided) 
and insert replacement pages if there are User Guide updates included.

If you replace any modules, be sure to retain customized code as appropriate.
