2111 -    ..
2112 - Summary/Objective
2113 -
211301 - Follow up ref SDS 3 1111, ref SDS 2 line 115.
211302 -
211303 - Began effort to add HTML to a report for transfer to someone else via
211304 - Internet, per objectives at ref SDS 1 1211 and analysis on 971105. see
211305 - ref SDS 2 1459.
211306 -
211307 - Initially, I improved the code that assembles SDS records as memos for
211308 - the Internet by combining three routines into one, so the Executive
211309 - Summary and Action Item lists are placed at the top of the SDS record
211310 - as a Memo, all automatically.
211311 -
211312 -    [Completed first effort on 971112. ref SDS 5 1556]
211313 -
211314 -    [On 971206 Completed overall system to create and maintain SDS data
211315 -    base in HTML format. ref SDS 6 4862]
211316 -
211317 -
211318 -

2115 -
2116 - Progress
2117 -
211701 - The first thing I want to create is a composite report for sending SDS
211702 - records on the Internet, following up work at ref SDS 1 1211 and
211703 - ref SDS 9 9999, ref SDS 1 2222.
211704 -
211705 - I put the code in 07031 that creates the SDS record Headline summary,
211706 - into the code that formerly only created a Memorandum, 0704013, so
211707 - that with a single function we can produce a report that has a front
211708 - end that links summary to detail, a major objective of Communication
211709 - Metrics.
211710 -
211711 -      [Next day I put code in 0703 that creates the Action Item summary
211712 -      and added 0704021 to convert to ascii format, into 0704013, so
211713 -      that one function creates an SDS memo in HTML. ref SDS 4 3333]
211714 -
211715 -      [On 971206, this functionality was all put in 070405, and 0704013
211716 -      was changed back to creating an ASCII memo. ref SDS 6 1944.]
211717 -
211718 - This new format will make it possible, by adding HTML links, for
211719 - people to access information of interest in an SDS record without
211720 - reading the entire document.
211721 -
211722 - Think we should create the same thing for printed reports.
211723 -
211724 - The printed report will do a Headling report and then a print
211725 - operation, and then will run a regular report.

280801 - Line 35 -label begin, added code to call 07031 to create an
280802 - Executive Summary in an ASCII format to use for an Internet message.
280803 -
280804 -      [See follow up adding code calling 0703 to create Action Items
280805 -      that will be added to Executive Summary, ref SDS 4 3333.]
280806 -
280807 -      [This was changed on 971112 so that 070405 is a new function that
280808 -      has the code in 0704013 plus adds HTML code. ref SDS 6 5788]
280809 -
280810 - Line 920 -label 02, about 160 lines below, add code to get the
280811 - Executive Summary file, stufq.
280812 -
280813 - Line 990 -label Prof, about 50 lines below, I changed the code to
280814 - purge this file instead of keep in memory.
280815 -
280816 - Line 370 -label Procd, about 10 lines below, removed code that posts
280817 - the "messages" string with the filename.  Since we are eliminating the
280818 - special ESC code, this seems like it needs to also be unplugged.

281202 - creates the Executive Summary above the regular SDS memo normally
281203 - produced by 0704013.
281204 -
281205 - We should be able to use this to return to original record to do the
281206 - full report.
