Dale, where is the actual transaction being stored as it is being rung up? Is it being written to an ascii file, or pos file, etc? If so, which file?

I believe transactions are recorded in the SLS file (supplementary data stored elsewhere too), but I don't believe this happens until the end of a sale.

The file POLE.DAT contains information on the current item being rung up, subtotal etc for use by external programs to output to Pole displays.

Sale storage

To speed things up the sale currently being rung up is stored only in memory (RAM).

It is not stored on disk until it has been totaled and finished (the ????????.REC file) or if you park it (the ?????????.PRK file).
