Structure of the Database
5
Advantages of a Database
  • Direct access to records speeds processing
  • Database file can be ‘bound’ to a grid
  • File can be viewed, edited and used as input source simultaneously
  • Setting a command as a negative number causes a continuous Automatic run to stop and revert to step-by-step EDIT mode or switch to Manual mode
  • Automatic processing can re-start where it was halted

Steps to Run Automatic mode
  • Create the input database Miduss.Mdb using the Creat Miduss.Mdb command
  • Review and/or Edit the database - e.g. change Command numbers to negative value to halt processing.
  • Use the Run Miduss.Mdb command to process the file in any of three modes EDIT, STEP or RUN
