TEXTBOOK INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM Version 1.0 This document describes TICS, the Textbook Inventory Control System, version 1.0, which was created by Barry Alpern in June 1988. Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 2 INTRODUCTION TICS, the Textbook Inventory Control System, is the copyrighted property of Barry Alpern. You are granted a limited license to use TICS, and to copy it and distribute it, provided that the following conditions are met: 1) No fee may be charged for such copying and distribution. 2) TICS may ONLY be distributed in its original, unmodified state. Any voluntary contribution for the use of this program will be appreciated and should be sent to: Barry Alpern 3600 N. Lake Shore Dr. Chicago, IL 60613 You may not use this product in a commercial environment (non-educational) or a government organization without paying a license fee of $50. A word about user supported software: The user supported software concept (usually referred to as freeware) is an attempt to provide software at low cost. The cost of offering a new product by conventional means is staggering and hence dissuades many independent authors and small companies from developing and promoting their ideas. User supported software is an attempt to develop a new marketing channel, where products can be introduces at low cost. If user supported software works, then everyone benefits. The user benefits by receiving quality products at low cost and by being able to "test drive" software thoroughly before purchasing it. The author benefits by being able to enter the commercial software arena without first needing large sources of venture capital. But it can only work with your support. We're not just talking about TICS here but about all user supported software. If you find that you are still using a program after a couple of weeks, then you should send in a contribution.

It was developed with ease of use as the primary objective. TICS is entirely menu driven, making it very easy for the occasional user as well as the professional user to enter, modify, and maintain inventory control over textbooks. WHAT YOU NEED: TICS requires 200K (or more) of available memory on an IBM PC (or compatible) with DOS and a least one disk drive. A printer is optional but very useful. GETTING STARTED: TICS is contained in one file, TICS.EXE. To start the program put the TICS disk in the default drive. Then key in TICS and press the <RETURN> or <ENTER> key. (Note: The <RETURN> and <ENTER> keys are different labels for the same key and therefore have the save result.) TICS, the Textbook Inventory Control System, will then be ready to use. See Appendix A for additional information on how to install TICS on a computer with one diskette drive, two diskette drives, or a hard drive. While using the TICS program, it is necessary to enter information in one field after another. The <ENTER> key must be pressed after the data has been entered for each field. If you want to go back to the previous field, the up arrow moves the cursor to the previous field. When you are updating a record that has already been entered, pressing the <ENTER> key will advance the cursor from field to field without changing previously entered data. The data previously entered will be redisplayed. To erase any data field, move the cursor to that field, then press the space bar once followed by the <ENTER> key. Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 5 THE MAIN MENU: From the main menu the following functions are available: 1. Issue a book to a student 2. Update textbook inventory records 3. Record a book returned by a student 4. Print reports of the inventory records 5. Display the inventory records on the screen 6. Print reports of books not returned 7. Update book title information 8. Reorganize the indexes 9. Reconstruct the indexes 10. Set the display colors 11. Return to the operating system The main menu screen displays the following selections: A) BOOK ISSUED TO STUDENT B) UPDATE RECORDS C) BOOK RETURNED BY STUDENT D) PRINT RECORDS E) DISPLAY RECORDS F) PRINT BOOKS NOT RETURNED G) UPDATE BOOK TITLE INFORMATION H) REORGANIZE INDEXES I) RECONSTRUCT INDEXES J) SETUP X) END OF SESSION Select the function you want by entering the letter which is to the left of the function. The screen clears and a secondary screen is displayed. BOOK ISSUED TO STUDENT The purpose of this function is to record that a book was issued to a student. Appendix C contains a sample form that could help you in collecting this information. This sample form can be used as an input document while entering the information. When the BOOK ISSUED TO STUDENT function is selected, the issue screen is displayed as follows: Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 6 BOOK ISSUED TO STUDENT FILE NAME: BOOK TITLE: AUTHOR'S FIRST NAME: AUTHOR'S LAST NAME: BOOK COST - NEW: BOOK CODE: BOOK'S CONDITION: NEW STUDENT: GOOD FIRST NAME: FAIR LAST NAME: POOR DIVISION NUMBER: DATE ISSUED: IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: DATE RETURNED: F4 NEW ISSUE DATE The first thing to be entered is the file name for a specific book. This name follows the standard file naming conventions of PC-DOS or MS-DOS. (See the description of file name in the glossary for additional information.) Either enter a filename or a question mark (?). The response of a question mark (?) lists all the TICS files that are already on the disk or diskette. The up arrow, down arrow, Page Up, Page Down keys are used to highlight the desired file. Press the <RETURN> key to select that file. The <ESC> key returns to the FILE NAME field of the issue screen without selecting a file. After you have entered or selected the file name, TICS makes an attempt to open the file. If the file is found, the book title, author's name, and the cost are displayed on the screen. The program asks you to verify that this is the correct file. If the file is not found on the default disk, the program asks if it is a new file. The program then gives you the option of selecting another file or entering the title, author's name and cost to create a new file. After the correct textbook file has been determined, the hard work begins: entering the data. The date on which the textbook was issued is requested; a DATE OF ISSUE TO STUDENT message is displayed on the screen just below the BOOK COST information. This date is affixed to every record entered during this session. If you want to change the date issued, press the F4 key then the <RETURN> KEY. A new date is requested. Enter the new date. Enter the data field by field. Press <RETURN> key when the field is finished. The glossary contains the definition of the fields used. It is recommended that you understand the Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 7 definitions of these terms, especially file name and book code, before entering the data. UPDATE RECORDS The purpose of this function is to change some of the information on a record. For example, while reviewing the information entered during a session, you might notice a student's name spelled incorrectly. This function allows you to correct data entry errors. When the UPDATE RECORDS function is chosen, the same basic screen is displayed as with the BOOK ISSUED TO STUDENT function. All records are accessible by book code, student's name or student's identification number. The program first asks for the book code. If the book code is unknown, you can access the record by student name or identification number. To access the record by student name, press the F2 key then the <RETURN> key. To access the record by student identification number, press the F3 key then <RETURN> key. If after pressing F2 or F3 and <RETURN> you decide that you want to seek the record by book code after all, press <F1> and <RETURN>. After you have chosen the method by which you want to access the record, supply the information (book code, etc.) needed to specify the record you want. It should be noted that more than one record may contain the information you have specified. For example duplicate records might exist for many reasons: two students might have the same name, a book might be returned and reissued, or a student might lose a book and be issued another one. When one or more records containing the information you specified have been found, the first (or only) is displayed and a "CHANGE THIS RECORD?" message appears. A Y response allows you to update this record. An N or <RETURN> response will display the next record with the specified information if duplicate records exist. If a duplicate record does not exist, the information for the next record to be updated is requested. To move from one field to another within a record, press the <RETURN> key. When no new entry is made, the content of the current field is not changed. After you have finished updating the fields, an "IS THIS RECORD CORRECT?" message appears. Respond with Y to update the record; N or <RETURN> to make no change and go on to the next record. BOOK RETURNED BY STUDENT The purpose of this function is to record that a book has been returned. This function can be used to good advantage Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 8 if a list of the books issued has already been printed (see the PRINT RECORDS function) so it can be used in the classroom while the books are being returned at the end of the term. If the list is in book code order, you can quickly identify a student returning a book not issued to him or her. When the BOOK RETURNED BY STUDENT function is selected, the same basic screen is displayed as with the BOOK ISSUED TO STUDENT function. After the correct textbook file has been determined but before any records are accessed, a "DATE OF RETURN BY STUDENT" message is displayed just below the BOOK COST information. If no date is entered, each record accessed will be stamped with the date entered when the computer was turned on. To change the date with which the next record (and succeeding records) will be stamped, press the F4 key then the <RETURN> key. Records are accessed in the same manner as in the UPDATE RECORDS function. After a record is displayed, an "IS THIS THE CORRECT RECORD?" message appears. A response of Y will automatically add the return date to the record. A response of N or <RETURN> will display the next record with the same specified information, or if there are no more records containing the specified information, another book will be requested. PRINT RECORDS This purpose of this function is to allow the user to print records in different orders. The records can be printed in order according to book code, student's name, student's division, or student's identification number. The reports are designed to use 8 1/2 x 11 paper, either continuous or single sheet forms. When the PRINT RECORDS function is selected, the print screen is displayed as follows: PRINT RECORDS FILE NAME: BOOK TITLE: AUTHOR'S FIRST NAME: AUTHOR'S LAST NAME: BOOK COST - NEW: ORDER BY: 1) BOOK NUMBER 2) STUDENT'S NAME 3) STUDENT'S DIVISION 4) STUDENT'S ID NUMBER 0) RETURN TO PREVIOUS MENU The first thing entered is the file name for the specific Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 9 book. Use the same file name as when the data was first entered or last updated. After the file name has been entered, the book's title and author are displayed, and a file verification is requested. After you have verified the file information, prepare the printer and select the order for the report. The amount of time it takes to print a report depends on the size of the file and the speed of your printer. DISPLAY RECORDS This purpose of this function is similar to the PRINT RECORDS function, but the records are display on the screen rather than printed. This function can be used to review records quickly. After the file name and order are selected, the list is divided into pages, one page being the amount that fits on one screen, and the first page is displayed. To advance to the next page, press the <RETURN> key. To go to a specific page, enter the page number, then press the <RETURN> key. The number of the page currently being displayed and the total number of pages are shown in the upper right hand corner of the screen. The total number of records in the file is shown on the last page. To change the file or order, press the F1 key, then the <RETURN> key. The program displays the file selection screen of this function. PRINT BOOKS NOT RETURNED The purpose of this function is similar to the PRINT RECORDS function, but it only prints records which do not have a return date. This allows you to have a list of only those books not returned. The report has two forms. The first report form's format is the same as that of the PRINT RECORDS function. The second form, the Book Debt Slip, has a format like the screen of the BOOK ISSUED TO STUDENT function with one added field for present book cost. Three (3) Book Debt Slips are printed per page. If your school district keeps a permanent record of books not returned at the end of the term, these slips could be used as such. UPDATE BOOK TITLE INFORMATION The purpose of this function is to allow the header information of each file to be changed. If you notice an Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 10 error after the initial book title information has been entered, this function is used to change it. Enter the file name. After the correct textbook file has been determined, the file information can be changed. When no entry is made in a field, its content is not changed and is redisplayed. When an "IS THE TITLE CORRECT?" message is displayed, a response of Y will allow updating the title information in the file. A response of N or <RETURN> will not change the title information but will request another file name. REORGANIZE INDEXES Each textbook file consists of five (5) physical computer files. The name of each of the files begins with the filename for the textbook. A suffix is added to designate whether the file contains the main information (DAT) or the indexes (IXn). Note: An index is a programming technique to allow quick access to each record of a large file. The contents of the indexes are transparent to the user. The use of this function is optional but is recommended. Each time a textbook file is selected, the program reads one or all the indexes associated with that file. If the indexes have been reorganized into the logical order of the file, the time it takes to read the indexes will be greatly reduced. It is not necessary to run this function frequently; however, it can be run any time. New records can be added to the file after the indexes have been reorganized. RECONSTRUCT INDEXES The purpose of this function is to reconstruct or rebuild the indexes. There are many reasons why the indexes may become broken or corrupted such as a sudden rise, fall or failure in the power while an index is being modified. This function does not have to be run unless you suspect that an error has occurred. The length of time it takes to run this function depends on how fast the disk or diskette drive is and the number of records in the file. SETUP The purpose of this function is to define the type of display terminal being used. The choices of display terminals are monochrome (M) or color (C). If monochrome is chosen, the default color is the color (white, amber or green) of the terminal. If color is chosen, the default colors are black background with white letters. You can change the colors by pressing the up arrow or down arrow when the color selection prompt is displayed. After selecting the desired color, Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 11 press the <RETURN> key. The setup file is automatically updated. Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 12 GLOSSARY This glossary contains definitions of terms used in the Textbook Inventory Control System User's Guide. AUTHOR'S NAME This field contains the name of the person who is credited with writing the book. The maximum number of characters allowed for the author's first name is ten (10); for the author's last name, twenty (20). BOOK CODE This field contains the code that is used to identify the individual book. The maximum number of characters for this field entry is seven (7). The code used in the sample data is in the format YYMMnnn; where YY is the year the book was bought, MM is the month the book was bought and nnn is a sequence number to identify a book specifically. If more than 999 books of the same title were received at the same time, the book code can be kept unique by changing the month by one. BOOK CONDITION This field is used to identify the condition of the book at the time it is issued to the student. The book codes are as follows: N = NEW G = GOOD F = FAIR P = POOR This field contains only the single letter N, G, F, or P. BOOK COST This field is used to record the cost of the book at the time of purchase. The maximum size of this field entry is five (5) characters. Therefore the maximum dollar amount is either 99.99 or 99999. Either format is acceptable. BOOK TITLE This field is the title of the book. The maximum size of the field entry is twenty (20) characters. DATE ISSUED This field is the date on which the book was issued to the student. The entry format is MMDDYY; where MM is the month, DD is the day of the month, and YY is the year. This field is used as an input field only during the BOOK ISSUED TO STUDENT function. It is entered once per session and is then automatically added to every record entered during the Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 13 session. If no date is entered upon request, the date from the operating system (DOS) is assumed. Therefore make sure the system date is entered when the computer is turned on or else an incorrect date might be used. This date is printed or displayed in other functions. DATE RETURNED This field is the date that the student returned the book. The entry format is MMDDYY; where MM is the month, DD is the day of the month, and YY is the year. This field is used as an input field only during the BOOK RETURNED BY STUDENT function. This field is entered once per session and is added to every record that is updated. If no date is entered upon request, the date from the operating system (DOS) is assumed. Therefore make sure the system date is entered when the computer is turned on else an incorrect date might be used. This date is printed or displayed in other functions. DIVISION This field is the number of the room to which NUMBER the student is assigned. Division number is a Chicago term. In other parts of the country, this term is known as home room. The maximum size of this field entry is three (3) CHARACTERS. This field accepts alphabetic as well as numeric characters. NOTE: Be careful on the entry of this number. This field is a CHARACTER field. Therefore, when printing a report by this field, the characters "12 " will be after the characters "109". The number 12 should be entered as either " 12" or "012". FIELD A field or data field is a piece of information, such as a person's first name, a city, account number or account type. A field can be from one (1) character to many character in size. The characteristics of a field is defined by the needs the user. Note: also see RECORD and FILE. FILE A data file is a collection of related blocks of information, or records. Each record in the data file is further subdivided into fields, or regularly recurring items of information within each record. In TICS, a file consists of all the information about the books with the same title. Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 14 Note: Also see RECORD and FIELD. FILE NAME This field is the name of the file as it appears on the disk or diskette. A DOS file name has two parts: the base name, which is everything up to but not including the period (.), and the extension which includes the period and up to three (3) characters following the period. The user only needs to supply the base name to the program. Example of a file name for a U.S. History Book Volume 1 could be USHIST1; or U.S. History Book Volume 2 could be USHIST2. The maximum size of this field entry is eight (8) characters. The program adds an extension of .DAT to the file name. It follows the standard naming conventions of the operating system (DOS). The file must reside on the default drive and/or subdirectory. See Appendix A if the data file does not reside on the same drive and/or subdirectory as the program. When the program requests the name of the file to process, the response of a question mark (?) lists all the TICS files that are already on the disk or diskette. The up arrow, down arrow, Page Up, Page Down keys are used to select the desired file. Press the <RETURN> key to select a file. The <ESC> key returns to the screen without selection a file. IDENTIFICATION This field contains the number which is NUMBER assigned to the student by the school. The maximum size of the field is eight (8) CHARACTERS. This field accepts alphabetical as well as numeric characters. NOTE: Be careful on the entry of this field. This field is a character field. Therefore, when printing a report by this field, the entry "2 " will appear after the entry "123". The number two (2) should be entered as " 2" or "002". INDEX An index is a programming technique that allows quick access to each record of a large data file. A computerized index works similarly to a card file index. For example, if you are looking for the name Curz in a card index file, you would open the card file, finds the index tab C, then go to the end of Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 15 the C cards to find the Curz name quickly. If the cards were not in alphabetically order, you would have to look at all the cards until you found the name Curz. The contents of the computerized index is transparent to the user. ORDER Order is the sequence in which the reports appear. All the sequences are character order. This means that the sequencing is done from left to right within the sequence field. Therefore, an entry of "2 " (Note: which is <2> and <RETURN>) will appear after an entry of " 12". Keep this sequence in mind when a numeric field is being entered. The space has the lowest sequence, followed by numbers, followed by alphabetic characters. The TICS program treats upper case and lower case alphabetic characters as if they were the same. Therefore the character "2" has a lower order than the character "A" or "a". RECORD A record is a series of fields treated as a meaningful unit in a data file. Each record in a data file is a complete module of information about one item. In TICS, the record consists of all the information about one particular book. Note: Also see FIELD and FILE. STUDENT'S NAME This field is the name of the person who was issued the book. The student's name is entered into two fields. The student's first name is a ten (1) character field. The student's last name is a twenty (20) character field. Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 16 APPENDIX A INSTALLATION TICS, the Textbook Inventory Control System, consists of the program, TICS.EXE. (As TICS operates, its creates and uses the data files: filename.DAT and four (4) index files, filename.IXn.) In order for TICS to function correctly, the setting for the number of files allowed open at the same time must be set using a CONFIG.SYS file. A CONFIG.SYS file is a short text file which can be read by the operating system at start up time to change the default settings of various parameters, one of which is the number of files allowed open at the same time. The CONFIG.SYS file must be in the root directory on the start up disk or diskette. Note: root directory means the main directory not a subdirectory. TICS needs twenty-two (22) files open at once; the operating system's default value is only fifteen (15). If your system already contains a CONFIG.SYS file, verify that the FILES value is at least twenty-two (22) with the following instruction: TYPE CONFIG.SYS If the FILES parameter is less than twenty-two (22) or is not used, you must change your existing CONFIG.SYS file to contain this parameter setting. If you do not have a CONFIG.SYS file on your start up disk or diskette, you can create one on the start up disk or diskette with the following instructions: CHDIR\ COPY CON: CONFIG.SYS FILES=22 ^Z NOTE: ^Z means to hold down the <CTRL> key while pressing the Z key, then press the <RETURN> key. The following is a description of how to setup your computer to run TICS. Single Diskette Drive System The following instructions will create a diskette which will contain the operating system (DOS) and be able to execute a program. Format a diskette using the instruction: Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 17 FORMAT /S Next, copy the TICS program onto the diskette: COPY A:TICS.EXE B: Make sure that a CONFIG.SYS file is put onto this diskette. The diskette is ready to use. To start the program, enter: TICS Two Diskette Drive System The following instructions give two ways to execute the TICS program. The first way assumes the operating system has already been booted; in which case, all you have to have is a diskette containing TICS. The second way allows you to boot the operating system and execute TICS; in which case, you need a diskette containing the operating system and TICS. To produce a diskette containing only TICS, place a diskette with the operating system (DOS) in drive A and a blank diskette in drive B. Format the blank diskette using the instruction: FORMAT B: If you want the operating system on the diskette, use the instruction: FORMAT B: /S Next, in either case, place the TICS distribution diskette into drive A and copy the TICS program onto the diskette using the instruction: COPY A:TICS.EXE B: If this diskette is your start up diskette, make sure that a CONFIG.SYS file is put onto this diskette. The diskette is ready to use. After the computer has been turned on and the operating system loaded, start the program by entering: TICS Hard Drive The following instructions will create a subdirectory that will contain the TICS program and all the files needed. Create a subdirectory using the following instructions: C:\ Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 18 MKDIR TICS CHDIR\TICS Next, place the TICS distribution diskette into drive A and copy the TICS program into the subdirectory: COPY A:TICS.EXE C: Make sure that a CONFIG.SYS file is put into the root directory. To run the program, enter the following instructions: C: CHDIR\TICS TICS An alternate way of starting the program is with a batch file. Create a batch file as follows: CHDIR\ COPY CON: TICS.BAT ECHO OFF C: CHDIR\TICS TICS CHDIR\ ^Z NOTE: ^Z means to hold down the <CTRL> key while pressing the Z key, then press the <RETURN> key. After the batch file has been created, start the Textbook Inventory Control System by entering: TICS NOTE: If the data files do not reside on the same default drive or subdirectory as the TICS program, create the start up batch file as follows: CHDIR\ COPY CON: TICS.BAT ECHO OFF C: CHDIR\TICS drive:path\TICS CHDIR\ ^Z Where drive:path\ is the drive and path or subdirectory where the TICS program is located. Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 19 APPENDIX B USING THE TEXTBOOK INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM TICS is designed to be easy to use. The ideas presented in this section of the user's manual are those of the author and the first user. They are by no means the only ways to use TICS. But they can be a guide to getting you started on the use of TICS. If you think of any variations of either how to use TICS or of TICS itself, please sent me a note. I would be glad to hear from you. In Appendix C there is a Book Issue form. Reproduce this form as often as you need. Have copies of this form at the beginning of the term to have students sign for books. After all books have been issued to the students, this form can also be used as an input document for data entry. Start TICS and enter all the data or as much of it as you care to in one setting. List the records and verify that the data was entered correctly. After the data has been entered and verified, use the PRINT RECORDS function to make a list of the records by student name and keep it available in case a book is returned before the end of the term. (At this time it may be advantageous to reorganize the indexes.) When the books are returned at the end of the term, a pre- printed list of the books by student name and/or book code can be on-hand for student signature and then used as a record of books returned. The return date should be entered for all books returned using the BOOKS RETURNED BY STUDENT function. Two appropriate lists can be generated at this time. First, as a final record, print a list of all the books issued. Second, print a list of all books not returned. Copyright (c) 1988 Barry Alpern TICS USERS GUIDE ---- PAGE 20 APPENDIX C TEXTBOOK INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM FORMS Appendix C contains forms that can be useful in using TICS. The first form is used when issuing textbooks to the students. You can have students sign their names as proof that they received the book and then refer to it as an input document when the data is entered into the programs. Feel free to reproduce it as often as needed. The second form is used when ordering the Textbook Inventory Control System. When purchasing the system, complete the form, enclosed it with a check and sent both of them to the address on the form.
