Something new in pole.dat

Quick question for Dale:
What is POS writing into POLE.DAT when you hit F8 to round at the end of a sale, but before it writes the new amount due? I assume it's something new for Bigpole, but it's making my customer display flicker until the new total due comes through. Please let me know so I can modify and fix the customer display program.

Thanks.

Guest,

Here is the file format of the POLE.DAT file http://got.myvnc.com/dale1/fformat.htm#pole

Record #4 is new for the BIGPOLE program and contains the totals for the sale.

Hey dale, think you can add the code for reading/ adding parked sales to that page?

I'm interested in looking at it and hopefully, maybe doing something with it.
