Hi, Well, it just serializes the seperate bytes of data to their equivalent ASCII code. So, for a 4-byte numeric data type that contains the value 578 (=0x242), the bytes stored in memory are: 00000000 (=0)/ 00000000 (=0)/ 00000010 (=2)/ 01000010 (=66) And so converts to a 4-byte string: NULL char (...

Reducing the total seems the most logical to me. Here in Belgium, most registers work like this: They ring up all items with INCLUDED tax, with reductons being negaive items. When closing the sale, the register totals the sales amount by tax rate and extracts the tax from it. so it works the other w...

In PosConfig, go to "Printer Setup" and set "Allow printing of sales checks" to "NO".

This should fix your problem.

When printing selected lines of stocktable to printer today, I received the following error:

RETURN without GOSUB in line 56 of module STOCK3.

Then program dies (hit any key .....)

Using POS v6.29

Report printed fine.

Hi, I just thought of something: Ain't it possible to allow a second printer option to be set for reports. For example: people may want to print their receipts on a receipt printer (let's say on LPT1), but it's quite possible they might want their reports printed on a 'normal' printer (e.g. LPT2). E...

I guess I could prevent overpayment on a sale if credit is one of the payment methods used. That would still allow cash back on checks if credit is not also used as payment. No, please don't disallow overpayment. Or at least leave us the option to allow it via posconfg. I find this much easier (= f...

Something people might find useful is to have "index" numbers that refer to multiple stock numbers. For example: In a hamburger restaurant, menu X might be: 1 soft-drink (stock number a) + 1 chicken burger (stock.no. b) + 2 i-dont-know-whats (stock no c) If you could combine these items in one "inde...

Yep,

just overwrite the program files with the new versions in the ZIP file.

It is recommended however to make a backup of the entire POS directory (program+data files) prior to updating. You never know...

Hi Dale, I've been testing the new version of POS for the last hour or so and it seems to me there is a little problem in it. On several occasions in the program, a blank screen appears (sometimes blue, sometime cyan, ... depends on when it happens) The screen only shows ** on the first (or second, ...

I guess if there was a problem with the file, the copying into the POS clipboard would fail. That part went fine and the data on the clipboard looked OK. Only when trying to paste the current clipboard into the stocktable, the problem occured. I failed to mention that in my previous post. I knew I w...

Hi,

When I try to import stock table items in POS (from a CSV file), I get an illegal function call on line 0 in module CF4. Both from POS (6.18) and PosConfg.
I admit that I'm trying to copy 11650 lines, but I've done it before in previous versions and it always worked fine.

Grtz,

Hi Dale & co, I've not been working with POS for a while since I as doing other projects, but I've started again this week and here I am already with another question: I'm working on a tool that allows me to add additional data to the stock table (things such as a sales place etc...) But I've come a...

Hi Dale, I have just two more small questions about the file format. 1/ You say each record ends with 14 unused bytes for future use. The total record length is 120 bytes. So there should be (120-14) 106 bytes of actual data. But this was the old recordlength. With the 4-byte sale price added in the...

To use all features of your pole display, it's best to read the manual. Most displays can do more than just "display" the text (scrolling, character sets, ...).

Manual for your PD is available at http://www.iepos.com/support/partnertech_manuals.htm.

Hope I helped,

Joe,

You should export the CSV file using codepage 437. I think that should work!
When viewing an exported file, you should let the program you're using (spreadsheet for example) know to use that codepage. Windows and DOS use different codepages (= ASCII char's > 128).

Hope I helped.

Grtz.
