0507 - Progress
0508 -
050801 - Jeff has created about 30 or so CNS records.  He has not done much
050802 - more with the SI.
050803 -
050804 - He feels he is now using SDS in place of his Wordperfect Diary
050805 - practice.  This is a simple chronology and he likes it very much.
050806 -
050807 - He showed one of his colleagues the program the other day.  This
050808 - person does not use computers in his management practice, but
050809 - remarked to Jeff that what he saw of SDS is "amazing."

0706 - Discussion
0707 -
070701 - Jeff advised that last night his computer was connected to a company
070702 - network.  This morning his CSF will not initialize.
070703 -
070704 - DOS not part of Path
070705 -
070706 - The first problem is that his path no longer has "dos" in it. Worked
070707 - around this by starting from his DOS directory.  Since DOS looks
070708 - first in the current directory to execute a program called from the
070709 - prompt, it is not necessary for "DOS" to be in the path.
070710 -
070711 -
070712 - CSF data structure incorrect
070713 -
070714 - We used debug 100 with 04702 to investigate the problem.  From his
070715 - description of what debug showed, it appears that the routine was
070716 - unable to find the the date segment for today.  Also loaded his
070717 - jsg.csf with sdd.
070718 -
070719 - Initially, he could not identify the problem.
070720 -
070721 -
0708 -
0709 - 1015 Jeff called back
0710 -
071001 - He found that my CSF initialized okay, indicating the code runs under
071002 - the network.  He then examined his CSF more carefully with sdd to
071003 - open it.
071004 -
071005 - Failure to use 022F07
071006 -
071007 - He discovered he had failed to update with 022F07 a record he tried
071008 - to convert from a schedule to a diary.  Only one line had the time
071009 - entered and an "s" removed from the status field.
071010 -
071011 - After he corrected this problem, his CSF initialized correctly.

0806 -
080601 - Jeff's next objective is to learn how to print reports for Summaries
080602 - and do Diary memoranda reports.  He has printed some reports, but
080603 - wants to customize the format to suit his personal tastes.
080604 -
080605 - I explained how easy it is to convert a schedule or diary summary
080606 - into a file to print.  In doing this, I noticed an error in the
080607 - code.  It is not treating the performed records correctly.  There is
080608 - also a problem with the Diary Summary print report.
080609 -
080610 - Did correction, ref SDS 2.
