0808 -
080801 - Follow up ref SDS 22 0000, ref SDS 21 0000.
080802 -
080803 - Jeff called to advise he is thinking of using SDS more frequently to
080804 - manage his project in Spain.  He wants to suppress line numbers in
080805 - reports, and he wants a copy of the Broadwater Dam Subject Index as a
080806 - prototype for his project in Spain.
080807 -
080808 - I modified the program to restore this function in printed reports so
080809 - it will remove line numbers, even though this is harmful to helping
080810 - recipients correlate summaries with details in reports, including
080811 - Action Items.  Jeff can assess which works best for him.
080812 -
080813 - Submitted via ref DIT 1 0000, including this record, the program
080814 - update via Internet, and the SI Jeff requested.  Included the SI for
080815 - the Oakland Harbor project.  Sent this with line numbers off, so he
080816 - can see how it looks.
080817 -
080818 -      [On 970325 Jeff received this update. ref SDS 23 0000]
080819 -
080820 -      [On 970327 Jeff's computer crashed and he needed SDS and the SI
080821 -      resubmitted, ref SDS 25 0000.]

081201 - Jeff Needs Line Number Supression; SI for Broadwater Dam
081202 -
081203 - Jeff left message.  He did not say if he received and/or, if he did
081204 - receive, he did not comment on the scope of services for the Port of
081205 - Richmond project for COE, per my request on 970311. ref SDS 22 3859
081206 -
081207 - Jeff said they are about to start construction on their project in
081208 - Spain and he wants to start using SDS for project management.  He is
081209 - leaving for Spain shortly.
081210 -
081211 - He wants...
081212 -
081213 -   1. To be able to remove the line numbers for reports.
081214 -
081215 -   2. Broadwater Dam Subject Index, as a template for his new project.
081216 -
081217 - Jeff would like to the SI submitted via email.
081218 -
081219 - I called him back but he did not pick up the line; possibly he called
081220 - while in transit.  I left a message advising that line number
081221 - suppression was removed because it harms communication particularly
081222 - with respect to correlating summaries to details in the record;
081223 - second, I advised that I would send him the Broadwater Dam SI, and a
081224 - more recent one.

130901 - This was removed at ref SDS 3 3859, and further at ref SDS 3 3857.
130902 -
130903 - Looks like we can put it back for printing reports.  Took about 4
130904 - hours to re-work the code so it will fit in the compiler, but seem to
130905 - have something that works.

1312 - Analysis
1313 -
131301 - Seawest Needs to Implement Communication Metrics
131302 -
131303 - The basic challenge for Jeff is to use SDS for Communication Metrics,
131304 - which up to now he has not done, per our discussion on the developing
131305 - a Communication Manager role on 941201. ref SDS 1 0777
131306 -
131307 - The problem with putting this back is that it defeats the process of
131308 - Linking Summary to Detail and tracking Action Items which require the
131309 - line numbers as pointers from the summary into the details, ref SDS 3
131310 - 3859.  This diminishes communication and adds confusion, if these
131311 - features are used without line numbers.  The SDS design criteria to
131312 - provide controlled visibility is impaired by eliminating the tools
131313 - needed to connect summary to details, per prior analysis at ref SDS 13
131314 - 9485, ref SDS 9 5869, and meetings with Intel on their work practices
131315 - at ref SDS 11 3420, ref SDS 11 8888, which lead management into a
131316 - continual comedy of errors, ref SDS 18 3351.
131317 -
131318 - Since Jeff wants this, I will provide it in the code, but not
131319 - advertise it.  He can experiment over time to discover what works
131320 - best for him.

131701 - Line 40 -entry 0, was able to remove all of the old references to
131702 - macro 1192 from this part of the program, and this saved a little
131703 - space.

132101 - Connect Code that Removes Line Numbers for Printed Reports
132102 -
132103 - Line 860 -entry 1192, connected this code which was removed to save
132104 - RAM in 1995 when the Action Item system was first developed, ref SDS 3
132105 - line 355.
132106 -
132107 - Initially, I tried putting the code in a macro file to avoid
132108 - increasing impact on compiler capacity.  This has an adverse impact
132109 - on memory management, and it is much slower than fitting into
132110 - compiled code.
132111 -
132112 - Was able to eliminate macros 119 and 1191, and then consolidate the
132113 - remaining code into a single macro 1192, and finally got the thing to
132114 - compile without errors or warnings that compiler 64K limit is
132115 - exceeded.
132116 -
132117 - On my 200 MHz cpu the function just pops when F4 is pressed.  I think
132118 - this is what Jeff wants for now.

132501 - Line 915 pf4,  added new code to call macro 1192 which is revised
132502 - today, per above, to remove line numbers from printed reports of
132503 - single SDS records, also called memorandums. This was a new subroutine
132504 - call, but then changed it and will just call macro 1192, and put some
132505 - of the houskeeping code in so we do not exceed compiler capacity of
132506 - Medit.

132902 - 0 0 and z 1 1 to support macro 1192, as new housekeeping stuff, and
132903 - it seems to remove the line numbers from subject reports covering
132904 - more than one record.
