UPDATE.DOC Jan 1989
NOTE: INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS UPDATE FILE SUPERCEEDS THE
MSFORMS.DOC MANUAL.
****** MSFORMS V3.10 UPDATE ******
This release has added the long awaited and much needed position
independence of the entries in the QUAN report. In order to do
this two things are required: 1) the USECODE must be set to 'Y'
in the MSFORMS configuration file, and 2) the CODE entry in the
NAMES.xx file must be assigned. The program now uses that CODE
entry, so an explanation of how to set it up correctly is in
order.
If USECODE is set to 'N' in the configuration file, then the
program works as before. If set to 'Y' then the first four
characters of the compound name in the QUAN report are read and
used to match the entry with the entry in the NAMES.xx file. The
two MUST match. If they do not, then the program assumes that
QUAN entry is of no interst, and ignores it. The NAMES.xx file
MUST have the internal standards first, followed by the
surrogates, followed by the analyte list (this is the same as
before!). The order of the analytes in the NAMES.xx file, is the
order that they will appear on the report.
The fact that the unwanted entries are ignored in the QUAN
report, means that now special NAMES.xx files can be set up that
are only a subset of the entire QUAN report. Example: you run a
625 analysis, the TCA report contains all the BNA compounds, but
you are asked only to report the acids. Solution: set the
USECODE to 'Y', enter the QUAN filename (QUAN 5.BN) and for NAME
LIST enter 'AC'. An acids only report will be generated.
The main data entry screen has two new entries. The first I've
already mentioned: The NAME LIST entry. You will be asked for
this ONLY if you have USECODE set to 'Y'. This allows you to
specify the two letter extention of the NAMES.xx file you want to
use. It can be different from the two letter extention of the
QUAN file.
The second new entry is PROTOCOL. This allows you to specify
what protocol was used for analysis. IE: 624 or 8270 or 608/8080
etc.
The USECODE is NOT used for specifying different NAMES.xx files
if you are generating EPA CLP forms. It will still be used to
match the QUAN entries with the NAMES.xx entries.
The CODE is NOT used to sort the entries, only match them with
the NAMES.xx entries. As I stated earlier, the order of the
entries in the NAMES.xx file is the order they will appear in the
printed report.
1
The CODE entries in the NAMES.xx file MUST match the first FOUR
characters the Finnigan library name. The match HAS TO BE EXACT.
Also make sure that they are UNIQUE for each entry. You can use
only letters, or only numbers or a combination of both.
As additional demos, I have included QUAN7.VO and QUAN8.BN.
These two files contain only hits (the non hits have been U'd
out) and they are not in order. I have also included a file
NAMES.ACW to demonstrate the subset of a full BNA analysis.
A final caveat. The program will not handle duplicate entries in
the QUAN report properly. It will use the first entry it finds.
Example: suppose that the last surrogate is not found, you
manually find it and append it to the end of the QUAN list, if
you do not delete the first 'zero' entry for the surrogate, the
program will find the first entry and stop looking.
Also the SPIKE program has not yet been updated to handle using
the CODE. Consequently, QUAN reports must contain the 'NOT
FOUND' entries for the MS/MSD report generator to work properly.
The MSFORMS.DOC manual states that a maximum of 160 entries in
the QUAN report can be handled. This number has been downgraded
to a maximum of 120 entries with this release.
*****************************************************************
**** MSFORMS V2.80 UPDATE ****
This release fixes two bugs that were present in the 2.70 release
- both minor. In addition support for EPA CLP format forms has
started. This release only supports FORM I. Future releases will
add additional forms. The menus reflect the additions.
Here then, is an explanation of the new additions:
Menu item 4, EPA CLP REPORTS MENU. This will display a menu of
EPA CLP forms. At this release only the first entry is
functional, the HSL REPORT - FORM I. The other forms are
currently under development.
2
Selecting the HSL FORM I REPORT will display the header screen:
ORGANICS ANALYSIS DATA SHEET EPA SAMPLE NUMBER
QUAN FILENAME:............... .............
Lab Name:......................... Contract:...........
Lab Code:....... Case No:...... SAS No:....... SDG:......
Matrix: (soil/water) ...... Lab Sample ID:.............
Sample wt/vol:..... (g/ml).... Lab File ID:...........
Level:(low/med)...... Date Received:........
% Moisture: not dec.... dec.... Date Extracted:........
Extraction:(SepF/Cont/Sonc).... Date Analysed:........
GPC Cleanup:(Y/N)... pH:..... CONC UNITS: .....
Column:(pack/cap)...... (ug/l or ug/Kg)
Dilution Factor: Sample:........ Surrogates:........
If you have conpleted the EPA HEADER in the configuration menu,
then the lab name, contract, lab code, case no., sas no., sdg
no., level, extraction, GPC and column will be filled in from the
file information. Otherwise you will need to supply the
information. Hitting return will accept any existing data. Some
items (matrix, sample (g/ml), level, extraction, GCP, column and
conc units) have specific required entries. To speed entry in
these fields, it is only necessary to enter one letter. The
accepted letters are:
FIELD LETTER DISPLAY
--------------------------------------------
MATRIX: S SOIL
W WATER
SAMPLE (g/ml): G G
M ML
LEVEL: L LOW
M MED
EXTRACTION: F SEPF
C CONT
S SONC
GPC: Y Y
N N
COLUMN: P PACK
C CAP
CONC UNITS: L UG/L
K UG/KG
Once you conplete the entries, the QUAN report is read in and the
EDIT screen is displayed. The entry results can be edited at
this time. Hitting ESC will print the form. An EPA CLP FORM I
is printed. This matches the CLP format report in most ways.
The few descrepiencies are: fixed 34 compounds per page, the
report footer does not say 1/87 Rev and the SV page 2 does not
have the diphenylamine note. The header form number says
only 1 instead of 1A or 1B or 1C etc.

CONFIGURE EPA HEADER
--------------------
This section accepts data that remains fairly constant in the
header of the EPA reports. It will create a file for later
retrieval during program execution. The display wiil be:
LAB NAME: ......................... CONTRACT: ...........
LAB CODE: ....... CASE NO: ...... SAS NO: ....... SDG NO: ......
LEVEL:(low/med) ...... VOLATILES COLUMN: (pack/cap) ........
SEMIVOLATILES:
EXTRACTION: (SepF/Cont/Sonc) .... GPC CLEANUP: (Y/N) ...
The same single letter entries mentioned above, also applies
here. There is no entry validation performed here.
*********************
Finally, an addition (improvement ??) in the reporting of
surrogate summaries. Currently, when you print a surrogate
summary report, the SURRHOLD file is archived in the form of an
SR999999 file. Now, in addition to archiving the SURRHOLD file
an additional file is created - SRxx9999.WKS. As the WKS
extention signifies, this file is a LOTUS 123 worksheet file and
can be read by any version of LOTUS 123 from version 1.0 on. The
four digits in the SRxx9999 name correspond to the last four
digits in the SR999999 name. If your QA/QC officer uses LOTUS
for control charting your surrogate results, this should make it
a lot easier.

NOTE: This program has not been tested with the INCOS 50. If
you have an INCOS 50 and this program does not parse the
QUAN report correctly, I would appreciate it very much
if you could send me some ASCII files of the INCOS 50
QUAN reports. Then I could work on the parser.
Thank-you.
