-------------------------------------------------

Provides a method for SASI users to send messages to each other. Most useful on a large networked computer system, but can be run on a single-user system if desired. You could even use MAIL just to keep notes to yourself. MAIL is initially assigned to function key F9, or can be run by typing MAIL and pressing Enter.

------------------------------------------------

Displays data from any file using a QUERY state- ment. Initially assigned to F10 function key. You can also run it by typing INFO and pressing Enter; however, if you are not running another program, you should use the normal QUERY program instead.

--------------------------------------------

This program replaces the DOS COPY command while in the SASI environment. Normally you enter two file names following the COPY command. For example, if you wanted to copy a file named FIRST.LTR to a new file named SECOND.LTR you would enter the following command: COPY FIRST.LTR SECOND.LTR

------------------------------------------

This command can be used to display the current date in the computer, or to change it. If you just type DATE and press the ENTER key, the current date (as kept in the computer) will be displayed. If you want to change the date, enter the new date as month, day and year.

------------------------------------------------

This command is used to delete files from computer disk storage. To delete one file named MYFILE.DAT you would enter the following command: DEL MYFILE.DAT

---------------------------------------------

This program replaces the DIR command in the SASI environment. It operates the same as the DOS DIR command. For example, to list all the files in your current directory, enter the following: DIR *.* To list all data files (those ending in DAT) enter: DIR *.DAT

---------------------------------------------

This command will print a data file on your printer. Enter the file name following the PRINT command. The file being printed should be a text file (not a SASI data file). If you have a printer file from a SASI print program, you would print it as shown below. See the DBSAVE documentation for instructions on saving printer files. PRINT P1234.LST

------------------------------------------

This command is used to rename a data file or files. For example, if you wanted to rename a file named FIRST.LTR to become FIRST.BAK you would enter: REN FIRST.LTR FIRST.BAK If there is already a file with the name you are trying to use (e.g. FIRST.BAK), you will get an error message, and the file will not be renamed.

--------------------------------------------

This command is used to check the current time, or to change it. Type TIME, and press ENTER, and the time will be displayed. To change the time, type it as hours, minutes and seconds and press ENTER, or just press ENTER and the time will remain the same.

------------------------------------------

This command can be used to display any file on your computer screen. The file should contain text, and not binary data such as found in SASI index files. To display the file FIRST.LTR enter the command as shown below: TYPE FIRST.LTR If the display fills up the screen, you can press the CTRL and S keys (CTRL-S) to stop the display while you read it. Then press any key to continue the display. Or you can press CTRL and C (CTRL-C) to stop the command.

-----------------------------------------

Used to update the colors in which SASI displays the background, foreground, and windows on a VGA monitor. This program updates a file named COLORS.DAT, which contains a record for each user number 01-99. Once you have saved a combination of colors, the same color combination will be used whenever you log in to SASI with this user number, until you change your color combination again using this program.

--------------------------------------------------

Enables you to create backup copies of data files. Loads the specified files from your current directory, which would normally be your SASI data directory. Enter the SASI file code for each file to be copied. For example, to copy your student file to a backup diskette, enter DBDUMP STU. If you are logged in to school code 01 and school year 1991-92, it will copy the files STU101.DAT and STU101.IDX (the index) to diskettes. Files copied to backup diskettes with this program can only be reloaded using the DBLOAD program.

----------------------------------------------------

Used to reload files copied to backup using DBDUMP. Loads the specified files to your current directory, which would normally be your SASI data directory. Like DBDUMP, DBLOAD allows you to enter just a database code for each file to be reloaded. For example, you can reload your student data file and its index using the command: DBLOAD STU. You may also reload several files at one time: DBLOAD STU SSS SMS CRS TCH WHO LOC

--------------------------------------------------

This is a very simple, easy to use text editor. It can be used to create letters for use with several of the SASI programs, and to create other ASCII text files for various purposes. Files created by this program can be printed on your printer, if you wish. The program is not meant to be a substitute for a word processing program, and does not perform the more sophisticated functions found in these programs. EDITOR has a limitation of 400 lines of text, and up to 80 characters per line. This is a little over six pages of printed text.

----------------------------------------------

Used to create the forms displayed by various CRT display and update programs. The only reason SASI customers would be running this program would be to modify a field heading on a SASI screen. Modifying headings in no way changes the contents of a field, so it is strongly suggested you do this only under the guidance of SASI support.

--------------------------------------------

This program is provided to enable you to create and modify help messages. When SASI is initially installed, each screen is accompanied with a standard help file, which describes each field on the screen. This program will allow you to modify the help messages to customize them for your school. For example, you may have ethnic codes that are different from those in the standard help message for the ethnic code field on the STUCRT screen. This program would allow you to change them.

---------------------------------------------------

Enables each SASI-III user to assign programs, batch files and macro statements to ALT keys, then use the ALT key combinations to run the programs. For example, ALT-S might be assigned to STUCRT. Then, no matter what other program the user is running, he can press the ALT key and the letter S and STUCRT will be loaded. Then when he exits STUCRT, the previous program will be resumed where it was before he pressed ALT-S.

--------------------------------------------------

Prints personalized letters using your own text with data from any SASI data files. Two input files are required. The first contains the text of a letter you want to print. This letter may be written using any text editor program, such as the SASI EDITOR program. The text file may contain up to 40 lines of text, including blank lines. Normally the letter text file would be named LETTER.TXT. The second file contains the variable information to be inserted into each letter. This file is normally created using the SAVE command in the QUERY program, and will be named QUERY---.SAV.

---------------------------------------

Locates on your hard disk all copies of a specified SASI program (*.EXE) file. Searches your current directory (normally your SASI data directory) and all directories in your search path, and displays any matching files it finds. This is useful if you need to access a SASI program file and are not certain of the directory name, or if you suspect you may have loaded more than one version of the same program.

---------------------------------------------

This program is made available to SASI users as an aid in correcting file problems under the telephone guidance of SASI support personnel. You should not use this program otherwise! It is restricted to users with update authority to the WHO file, since this is the most restricted file.

-------------------------------------------

Used to load updates to the SASI software. Analyzes your PATH to determine where SASI data files and programs are located, and loads new software into the correct directories on your computer. Designed to ensure that new software and data files are loaded into the proper directories, and that old software is deleted.

--------------------------------------

Used to make the computer wait until a specified time, or for a specified number of minutes or hours, before proceeding to the next step in a batch file. It would be included as a line in the batch file at the point at which you wish the computer to stop and wait before performing the next step.

----------------------------------------------

Used to define the type of network being used. Networking allows more than one user to access the same data file at one time, and protects against the possibility of two users updating the same record. SASI supports two major types of networking systems, in addition to a single user system.

----------------------------------------------

Used to create a new blank file (database) which has been defined by the user using DEFINE. NOT intended for creating the major SASI files (STU, MST, etc.). If a file with the same name already exists, you will be given the opportunity to abort the BUILD program or delete the existing file and create a new one.

------------------------------------------------

An all purpose CRT display and update program for use with any SASI data file. Intended primarily for updating custom files created by SASI users, and not for the major SASI files such as the student file, attendance file, etc. These all have special file updating programs such as STUCRT, ATDCRT, etc. However, CHANGE may be used to update these files if necessary.

----------------------------------------------

Can be used to check your SASI data files to be sure they do not contain improper types of data. This is especially useful for finding the "garbage" which can result if your disk directories get corrupted and combine pieces of two or more files; those records will contain inconsistent data, which this program will detect. You MUST have a current backup of the file to be checked.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to create a new data file with only the common data elements from another file. For example, you could create a new file of student data, with just the number, name and sex copied from the Student Master (STU) file. Then you could use CHANGE to add and maintain the remaining data in the new file. This program is also useful if you discover after creating a new file that you need to add some new fields to the file, but you did not leave room in the initial file definition. You can use this program to create a new file from the old one, using two different database codes.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to update the database definition file, SASI.DBD, with a file definition in the old format (DATABASE.---). Prompts for the 3-character file codes to be updated.

------------------------------------------------

Used to merge any user changes made to an exist- ing database definition file using DEFINE, into a new database definition file. Normally this would be done only when a new database definition file (SASI.DBD) is released as part of a system enhancement. Must be run immediately after the new database definition file is loaded, so the new file will be updated with any user definitions before any other program is run.

---------------------------------------------

This program will create a new index to the database definition (SASI.DBD) file. This index is used by various DBMS programs. It contains the code for each database defined, and other data about the definition. It must be valid, or many programs will not work correctly.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to print a data element listing of any file which is defined in the database definition file. This is especially useful where schools have created their own customized data files using DEFINE. Most schools will also have defined their own data areas within the user area of the student database. This program can be used to print a data element listing showing these data definitions.

----------------------------------------------------

Used to define a database or file to be used under the SASI Database Management System. Each file used in the SASI system is defined using this program, and this file definition is kept under the 3-letter code for that file in the database definition file SASI.DBD. This file definition is used primarily by QUERY. It is also used by other database management programs such as CHANGE, INDEX, BUILD, etc.

--------------------------------------------

This program will create a new ID number index for data files defined as type I2, S1 and S2. For type S2 files, it will also place new linkages in the data file. These point to the next slave record for the same master record. This program would be run if you lost the existing index to a file, or you suspect the current index is invalid. DBMS will give you an error message if there is a discrepancy between a data file and its index. This might happen if the index says ID number 123 is at record number 456, but in fact record 456 does not contain that ID number.

----------------------------------------

Used to select records to be included in subsequent programs, based on conditions specified by the user. Follows the same logic as the KEEP command in QUERY, re- quiring a file code and an IF statement. Only records meeting the IF condition are included in all subsequent programs accessing that file, including QUERY, until you run RESET or leave SASI.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to delete records in a slave file which do not have an active record in the master file. For example, the Immunization (IMM) file is a slave file to the Student Master (STU) file. After a period of time, some students in the master file might be deleted from the file. This program will rebuild the immunization file and drop any records for students not in the current student file. You might also run this program if you have a data file containing supplemental student data. If you wanted to delete records for students no longer in school, you could use this program to do so. As with any mass change program, make sure you have a current backup of the file to be purged before running this program. On a network, no one else should be accessing the file to be purged.

-----------------------------------------------

This program can be used to assign new identification numbers to records in any DBMS master file, and at the same time assign the new numbers to all associated slave files. For example, you could renumber all the students in your Student Master (STU) file, and assign the same number to all their records in associated slave files such as Course History (HIS), Scheduling (SSS), Grade Reporting (GRD) and Test Scoring (TST). Before running this program, you should have a current backup copy of all the files to be renumbered. On a network, make sure no one is working on any of the files.

---------------------------------------------------

Used to reorganize indexed files. This means sort- ing the file by the name field, dropping out deleted records, relinking the records by name, and creating a new index based on the ID number field. If a sort program exists for the file to be reorganized, such as STUSRT for the STU file, run that program instead of REORG. You MUST have a current backup of the file to be reorganized. On a multi-user system, no one else should be accessing the file to be reorganized.

-------------------------------------------

Cancels the effects of the SKIP and KEEP programs, which limit programs to selected records in a given file by ignoring other records. The RESET command instructs DBMS to cancel all record skipping. See the documentation for SKIP and KEEP for more information on this process.

---------------------------------------------

Used to select records to be ignored by every program run subsequently, based on conditions specified by the user. Uses the same logic as the SKIP command in QUERY, requiring a file code and an IF statement. Records meeting the IF condition will be ignored by all sub- sequent programs accessing that file, includ- ing QUERY, until you run RESET or leave SASI.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to sort a miscellaneous (type M1) file by one or more fields in the file. You might want to do this if you are maintaining a miscellaneous file and wish to keep it in order by some data field. You do not need to sort the file just for printing something with QUERY, since QUERY can sort the data internally. This program should not be used to sort a file of any type other than M1.

-----------------------------------------------

Allows you to very quickly produce displays, reports, mailing labels, or form letters, and save data in new files, from your SASI data files. You can use the DBMS programs to design new files of your own, and then use QUERY to produce reports from these files.

----------------------------------------

Used to maintain data in the User Access (WHO) file. The school should have only one or two key persons authorized to use this program. WHOCRT is used to assign user numbers, issue passwords, and permit access to specific files and programs. It should be highly restricted.

--------------------------------------------

Used after the computer is first turned on, to enable the user to log in to the system. This process is used to make sure the user is authorized to have access to the computer files. Until you have logged in, the SASI computer programs will not work. Before running this program, you should have your SASI data directory as your current directory, and be pathed ONLY to your SASI directories.

---------------------------------------

This program may be used when you have finished work, and wish to leave the computer turned on, but not available for running SASI software. It may also be used to change your password.

-------------------------------------------

Used to change the school year the user is currently set to in the User Access (WHO) file. This can be changed using the program WHOCRT if the user is authorized access to the program and WHO file. After the year is changed, only files applying to the user's current year are accessible with the SASI programs.

--------------------------------------------

Used to change the school code in the user's WHO file record. This code determines which data files the user will access. This program would only be used where more than one school's records are kept on the same computer system.

------------------------------------------

This program may be used to direct all further printed output to a disk file. Then this data can be printed later on while you are doing something else on your terminal. You might use this program to run long printing jobs at night, (unattended), and then the next day you can do the actual printing at the same time you are doing something else. This is also a good way to get printed output into a document which you are preparing with a word processing program such as Wordstar.

--------------------------------------------

This program is similar to DBSAVE except it directs the output from a printing program to the CRT screen. One example of the use of this program might be if your printer was down and you needed to see the printed output of a program. Or perhaps you wanted a quick listing on your screen instead of to the printer.

----------------------------------------------

Used to redirect all printer output back to the printer after you have run either DBSAVE or DBTYPE to send it to disk or the screen.

-----------------------------------------

Used to stop printing on all further SASI programs, until you use the DBPRNT command again. It would be useful if you needed to run a SASI program that updates a file and also prints a report, but you do not want the report.

---------------------------------------------

This program may be run to set up automatic HELP displays for any user. Normally when you run any SASI screen display program (STUCRT, MSTCRT, etc.), you can press the F1 function key to get a HELP window. The HELP window displays a message telling you what you can enter at this place on the screen. For new users, it might be desirable to have the HELP window automatically displayed for every field they are in. Thus they will always be prompted for what to enter in any field. Later, if you want to turn off this option, you will have to press F1 to get the HELP window.

----------------------------------------------

This program may be run to set up automatic menu displays for any user. Normally you would press the F2 function key to get the SASI MENU window. With DBMENU on, the menu will be displayed whenever you are not running another SASI program.

------------------------------------

Used to define which type of optical scanner is being used for SASI scanner programs.

------------------------------------------

Used to display and set user options. The display is broken down into six areas for school year, school code, printer output, automatic help, automatic menu, and scanner. The program encompasses the options available through DBYEAR, DBSCHL, DBSAVE, DBTYPE, DBPRNT, DBNONE, DBHELP, DBMENU, and DBSCAN.

---------------------------------------------

Used to turn reverse video on or off for SASI screen programs which display update fields in reverse video. It is useful if you have a monitor which will not display data in reverse video. This program must be run for each user number with such a monitor, to set a switch in the WHO record.

----------------------------------------------

Used to maintain information in the School Location (LOC) file. This file contains the name and address of each school in the user's school district.

-------------------------------------

Used to create the teacher name file. normally run just one time, when the school first starts up the computer system. Thereafter, it is maintained using TCHCRT and TEACRT.

----------------------------------------------

Used to maintain the names of the teachers in your school. Uses a form on which the teacher numbers and names are displayed. The display shows eighty teacher numbers and names on each page. There are 998 possible teacher numbers which may be assigned, ranging from 001 through 998 (000 and 999 are reserved). Normally these are assigned alphabetically when the file is created at the start of each year. If possible, assign every other number so you can add new teachers later in alpha- betical order. Many reports sort their output on this number, so keep it in alphabetical order if possible.

----------------------------------------------

Used to maintain the names and other information about the teachers in your school. Information on this screen includes full name, name on reports, social security number, class periods available, and maximum number of periods available.

-------------------------------------------

Used to create the Course Title (CRS) file and index. Normally run only once per school year, when the file is first set up. If the current year is 1991-92, and the school code is 01, the course file will be named CRS101.DAT and the index CRS101.IDX.

-------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of the courses in the school's Course Title (CRS) file. This listing is printed in order by course number, and will fit on narrow paper. It shows the course number, title, non-academic/honors tag, the subject areas the course applies to for graduation requirements purposes, and the college preparation code.

----------------------------------------------

This program will print a listing on narrow paper of all the courses in your Course Title (CRS) file which are not referenced by another data file. The other files include the Scheduling Master Schedule (SMS) file, the Master Schedule (MST) file, and the Course History (HIS) file. It will also list any course number found in these files which is not in the course file, which essentially makes it invalid.

--------------------------------------------

Used to maintain data about each course the school offers. The Course Title (CRS) file may contain up to 65,000 records, and is used to supply course titles to many computer programs in the system. Each course has a six character identifier assigned by the school when the course is added to the file.

---------------------------------------

This program may be run to reorganize the Course Title (CRS) file. This is usually only necessary while you are first creating the course file. During this time you are adding many courses to the file, so periodically (every 100 courses or so) you should stop and run this program. This will also speed up the addition process, and later on the looking up of courses by number.

----------------------------------------------

Used to create a new master schedule file at the beginning of the school year or semester. The new file is named MST---.DAT, with the user's current year and school code part of the name. For example, if the current school year is 1991-92, and the user's school code is 01, the new file will be named MST101.DAT.

-------------------------------------------------

This program serves a twofold purpose. It scans the student file, checking each student's class schedule, and reports any erroneous section numbers found and any students with no classes at all. AT the same time it keeps a running total of all the students in each class offered, by sex. When completed, it updates these totals in the Master Schedule (MST) file, so they are completely up to date and accurate.

------------------------------------------------

This program prints a listing of each section in the Master Schedule (MST) file which has been assigned a course number. The listing is printed in section number sequence, skipping any unused sections. In most schools, this will produce a listing by period of all the classes in the master schedule. See the other MST programs for other listing sequences.

--------------------------------------------

This program prints a listing on narrow paper, of each class in the school's master schedule in order by course number, period and teacher number. The listing shows the section number, period, block, semester code, course number and title, teacher number and name, room, credit value, maximum class size, and the total students assigned to each class.

---------------------------------------------

This program prints a listing of the classes in the Master Schedule (MST) file in order by teacher number, period, and course number. The report is designed to fit on narrow paper. The report shows the section number, period, block, semester, course number and title, teacher number and name, room, credit value, maximum class size, and the total students assigned to each class. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, indicating a multi- track school, track code will be printed for each section.

----------------------------------------------

This program lists the classes in the Master Schedule (MST) file in sequence by room number and period. The output is designed to fit on narrow paper.

-------------------------------------------

This program will display a quick list of classes for a given course number. You can either enter the course number(s) after the program name or let the program ask you for the course number(s).

-------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------

This program prints a listing of all the classes in the master schedule in order by period and section number. The report shows all the data about each section, including section number, period, block, semester, course number and title, teacher number and name, room number, credit value, sex restriction, and low and high grade range. It also shows the maximum students, total number boys, total girls, total students by grade level, total students in each class, and the number of seats left in each class. Up to four grade levels totals are shown.

-----------------------------------------------

This program prints a class load analysis in order by course number, period, and teacher number. The report shows all the data about each section, including section number, period, block, semester, course number and title, teacher number and name, room number, credit value, maximum students, sex restriction, and low and high grade restrictions. It also shows the total boys, total girls, total students by grade level, total students in each class, and seats left. Up to four grade level totals are shown.

-------------------------------------------------

This program prints a class load analysis in order by subject area, course number and period. It looks just like the report printed by MST13, except it is grouped by the subject area from the course title (CRS) file, where up to three subject area codes are allowed for each course. These are primarily meant for graduation requirements reports, but are used by this program to obtain the title of each subject area from the Requirements (REQ) file. If your school does not have an REQ file, the program will abort with an error message.

------------------------------

This program prints a master schedule list in order by teacher number, showing the room and course(s) for each period that teacher has a class.

-------------------------------------

This program prints a master schedule list in order by course ID, showing the room, teacher(s), and section(s) for each period that course meets.

------------------------------------------------

Used to maintain data about the classes in the school's current Master Schedule (MST) file. The program uses a form upon which data about each class is displayed. The Master Schedule (MST) file contains a record for each unique section. Each different combination of teacher, course, room and period should be assigned a unique section number. There are 2,000 records in the Master Schedule file, with section numbers 0001 through 1999 available for use by the school.

------------------------------------------------

Used to create a new Student Master (STU) file for the coming school year. Creates a new Student Master file for the year and school code which you are currently accessing. If you are just starting in the SASI system, then this will be a blank file. If you had a student file last year, this program will copy the records from last year's file into the new student file, adding one to the grade level, for students who were not in the highest grade last year.

------------------------------------------

Used to print a condensed listing of the students in the Student Master (STU) file. The listing can be printed much faster than the normal student directory produced by STU02. It shows the students in three columns of 50 students each, or 150 per page, on wide (11" x 14") paper.

------------------------------------------

Used to print a student directory showing number, name, sex, grade, birthdate, home phone number, parent name, address, zip and parents' work phones for each student. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, indicating a multi-track school, track code will be printed. Inactive students are noted by an asterisk next to the student number.

------------------------------------------

Used to print name and address labels from the Student Master (STU) file. Uses 3-across labels which measure 1" x 3-1/2". If no options are used, the labels are printed alphabetically for all students. The labels contain parent/guardian name on the first line, the word RE: followed by the student's name on the next line, and the street address, city, state and zip code on the following lines.

--------------------------------------------------

Used periodically to update the current class rank and size in the Student Master (STU) file using either total or academic grade point averages for grades 9-12 and 10-12. The GPA's are computed by other programs. The class size changes as new students are added and old students leave school. This program updates 9-12 class rank, 10-12 class rank, and class size. It uses total or academic GPA to calculate rank, depending on the setting of LOC option switch G. See the LOCCRT documentation for information about setting this option.

-----------------------------------------------

This program prints a listing of students showing their current class rank, either in alphabetical order or by class rank. Be sure the class rank data is up to date before running this program: see STU04. The listing is designed to use narrow paper. It shows student number, name, sex, credit attempted, credit completed, grades 9-12 grade point average, class rank based on that GPA, grades 10-12, and class rank based on that GPA. Total or academic GPA may be printed, depending on the setting of LOC option switch G. See the LOCCRT documentation for information about setting this option.

--------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of all students on file, with their current class schedules. This listing sometimes is preferable to the student locator cards, because it can be printed much more quickly than the locator cards, and uses plain narrow paper.

--------------------------------------------

This program prints an Add/Drop listing and creates a CLS file. Its primary purpose is to serve as an aid to teachers by giving them a list of students to be added to or dropped from their class rosters and/or attendance scanner sheets. To reflect the large number of schedule changes at the beginning of each semester, run STU08 daily at first, but less frequently thereafter. Teachers can then use this listing as a reference to the latest updates.

----------------------------------------

This program prints three across (3-UP) adhesive labels containing selected data from the student file. The labels measure 1" x 3-1/2". These are not name and address labels. See STU03 for name and address labels. QUERY can be used to print labels containing any information in the student and other related data files.

-----------------------------------------

This program may be used to input student class schedules very quickly. It is especially designed to be used during arena scheduling, when very fast input of student schedules is needed. If your school has a networked computer system, you can run this program simultaneously on several computers.

-----------------------------------------

This program provides a method for the quick input of teacher numbers into the students' data records for elementary schools, or section numbers for secondary schools. It might be useful at the start of the school year to assign students to classes.

--------------------------------------------

This program prints enrollment totals by grade and sex, in order by teacher number for a selected class period. It might be used to keep track of the total students in each teacher's class on a daily or weekly basis, and compared to attendance totals. Using the conditional IF option, this program can also be used to generate a quick report of the teacher, grade and sex distribution of students with a certain characteristic in common.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to make mass changes to the students' class schedules in the Student Master (STU) file. Allows you to drop a combination of up to eleven section numbers, and to add up to eleven sections, based on grade, sex, and specific class combinations. You MUST make a backup copy of the student file before running this program. If you make a mistake, you may need to reload the file from backup.

----------------------------------------------

Used to list students who have open periods in their class schedules. After printing the listing, you might run STU15 to assign students to a certain course (e.g.: Study Hall) during their open periods.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to automatically assign students with an open period in their schedules to any course you wish (e.g.: Study Hall). You MUST have a current backup copy of the Student Master (STU) file before running this program. On a network, you should not run the program if anyone else is accessing the student file.

------------------------------------------------

Used to assign all students in one or more grade levels to one course, such as homeroom. First you must set up one or more classes in the master schedule for the course to be assigned.

----------------------------------------------

This program will print a listing of students with less than a given number of periods per day of assigned classes. The program takes semester classes into consideration, and lists students with less than a full schedule either semester. The listing is designed to fit on narrow paper.

-------------------------------------------

This program is similar to STU19, but lists students with more than a given number of classes per day.

------------------------------------------

This program prints a 3-up label with the school name on the first line and the student name and grade on the second line. These may be useful for some departments within the school. The labels used are 1 inch high by 3-1/2 inches wide.

----------------------------------------------

This program prints a 3-up label with student number and name on the first line and home telephone number on the second line. These may be useful for some departments within the school. The labels used are one inch by 3-1/2 inches wide, three across.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program will print one label for each family, instead of one per student, which lowers your mailing costs. The program uses 3 across labels which are 1" by 3-1/2". The program sorts each student record by parent last name. If a telephone number is present, it sorts by that as well. Otherwise, it uses zip code, first four digits of street address, and any number at the end of the address with a pound (#) sign in front of it. Then it prints one label for each student or group of students with identical data in the above areas. This results in one label per family if the data has been input consistently.

------------------------------------------

This program prints a list of the students with birthdays during the next calendar month, or during any month specified by the operator.

--------------------------------------------------

This program will print student locator cards in order by counselor number from the student record, so they can be distributed to the counselors. Optionally, the locator cards can be sorted by section number for a specified class period. The program allows you to print 1 or 2 copies for each student, so you can generate up to six locators per student in one run.

--------------------------------------------

This program prints student locator cards on special forms which are two-across, and may be one, two or three ply forms. The program allows you to print 1 or 2 copies for each student, so you can generate up to six locators per student in one run.

-----------------------------------------------

This program prints student locator cards on special locator forms. It is similar to STU31, but only prints students who have had a change to their personal data or class schedules since locator cards were last printed by STU30, STU31 or STU32.

-----------------------------------------------

This program will print a listing of the students in your school in order by street name, and by house number within each street. The listing shows the student's address, name, number, grade, and sex. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, indicating a multi- track school, the listing shows each student's track code. The program also contains an option to print either telephone number or grid code.

-----------------------------------------------

This program prints student locator cards on special forms which are two-across, and may be one, two or three ply forms. The program allows you to print 1 or 2 copies for each student, so you can generate up to six locators per student in one run. This program is similar to STU31, but prints the locator cards in order by teacher number for a class period specified by the operator.

-------------------------------------------

This program is designed to be used by elementary schools, who keep one teacher number in the student file in the counselor number field. It can also be used by secondary schools who want rosters for counselors. For a similar program which prints rosters by section number, see STU41. Unlike STU41, this program does not require a master schedule or course title file, just the teacher name file.

------------------------------------------------

Used to print class rosters or roll sheets for each class in the Master Schedule file, either by teacher and section numbers, or by teacher number and class period. Rosters are only printed for sections containing at least one student. For a similar program which prints rosters by counselor number, see STU40.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to prepare class rosters for the teachers to use before students are assigned to their classes. It just prints the headings on the rosters. The output is in order by teacher and section number, which in most schools will be the same as teacher and period order. May be printed at 6 or 8 lines per inch, since it prints only two lines of data.

---------------------------------------

This program will print a special class listing on plain narrow paper. You may supply the section numbers for which listings are to be printed, or print listings for every section in which at least one student is enrolled.

----------------------------------------

Used to clear out some or all of each student's classes in the Student Master (STU) file. This might be done prior to arena scheduling for a new semester, to clear any prior classes from the students' records; or at the beginning of the second semester, to clear out the first semester classes. You MUST have a current backup of your student file before running this program.

--------------------------------------

This program is designed for use by continuation schools to print total inactive students by status code and sex. The report shows status codes of non-graduates, and the total boys and girls with each status code. You can then use these totals to complete the PART II-D Non-graduates Leaving School of the Continuation Education Year-End Site Report.

-------------------------------------------------

This program is designed for use by continuation schools to print the PART II-E Entering Age and Credit for the Continuation Education Year-End Site Report. The report prints on wide paper. For each age group and credit range, it shows the total number of male and female students.

--------------------------------------------------

This program is designed to copy records from a user defined database from last year into a file for this year. For example, you might have a user file for the 1990-91 school year from which you want to create a new file for the 1991-92 school year, saving the records of students who attending school last year and are enrolled this year. The program requires that you have last year's Student Master (STU) file and user defined file on the hard disk. You must be logged in to the current school year.

---------------------------------------------------

Used to copy user defined database records from a feeder school to your current file. If your district has a user defined file that all schools maintain, you can use this program to update new students in your file with records they has last year at another school. This is useful for updating information for an incoming grade level.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program will copy student and specified slave file records, for all or a selected group of inactive students, to special files that have 000 following the file code. For example, if you were to run the program to copy student records only, it would copy the records to STU000.DAT. If you copied the course history records also, they would be copied to a history file named HIS000.DAT. Then you can retrieve selected student records and their slave file records and add them to your current files using STU89, rather than re-entering data for students who have been in your school before.

----------------------------------------------------

This program will copy the student record for one student at a time from an inactive student file to the user's current Student Master (STU) file. If the student also has records in an inactive slave file, they may be copied too. The program can also be used to transfer one student's records from any valid SASI student and slave files. For example, you could copy from your own last year's files, if necessary. Or if you had a copy of another school's files, you could copy from them. You must be logged in to the year and school code to which you wish to copy before you run this program.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program may be used to add an incoming grade from one or more other schools, to transfer student records for the grade level one below your low grade. This program is normally run when you are creating your new student file for the coming school year. You should have a current backup copy of your student file before you run this program. If the program aborts before it finishes (e.g. if you run out of disk space), you must reload the student file from backup. Do not run this program when anyone else is using the student file.

---------------------------------------------------

Used at the end of the school year to copy all changes to student data made after you created next year's student file from last year's file. This allows you to create next year's file for scheduling purposes, but not have to make all miscellaneous student data changes on both files. You must be logged in to the new year's file before you run this program.

------------------------------------------------

The purpose of this program is to place a G in the status field of each student in the highest grade in your school, which denotes they have graduated. The program also places a leave date in each of these student's records. The data is useful only after the end of a school year, when you have already copied your final grades to the course history file. Then you can run transcripts for your graduated students, and the transcripts will show that the students have graduated, and a graduation date.

------------------------------------------------

Used to tag students who have no classes with status code N for "no show", or permanently delete students already tagged with N. The purpose of the program is to identify no shows at the start of the school year. A no show will not have a class schedule in his student record. This program will place a code of N in the status tag of any student who has no classes and does not have another code under status tag. Later on, the program can be run again to permanently delete any student with a status code of N. The program will display the name of any student tagged or dropped.

------------------------------------------------

This program is for use under the direction of SASI Technical Support ONLY. It will assign new student numbers to all records in the Student Master (STU) file and Course History (HIS) files, but will not update any other slave file.

---------------------------------------------------

This program prints a report showing the breakdown of students in your school by grid code within sex and grade level. The program prints kindergarten through six on one report, and grades 7-12 and the total for all grades on a second report. If your school does not have grades below sever, the first report is omitted.

------------------------------------------------

This program will print a report showing the breakdown of students in your school by ethnic code within sex and grade level. Your school may assign its own ethnic codes, as long as they are (upper case) letters in the alphabet or numbers (0-9). Up to twenty ethnic codes can be accommodated on the report. If there are more than twenty different codes, the last ones encountered will be included under the ? heading. This column also includes students with blank ethnic codes.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to display the total students in the school, by grade and sex. It also checks the sequence of the student file, and displays an error message if the sequence is not correct. This condition is very serious, and should be resolved immediately, either by reloading the file from a backup copy, or by reorganizing the file using STUSRT. The program will scan the student file for a few seconds and create a display.

------------------------------------------------------

Used to maintain data on the students. Uses two displays. One shows personal data about the student, and the other shows class schedule. The first screen shows the student's personal data, such as name, sex, grade, address, etc. The lower half of this form shows the user defined data in the student record. This is the program used to add new students to the Student Master (STU) file.

-------------------------------------------------

Creates a new index to the Student Master (STU) file based on student numbers. This index is used by many programs to locate a record in the student file using the SASI student number. The index is created automatically when you create the student file with STU00, and recreated any time you reorganize the file using STUSRT. You may run this program anytime you need to recreate the student number index, either because you have lost it, or it has become invalid.

------------------------------------------------

Used to reorganize the Student Master (STU) file periodically. As new students are added to the file, and some students have name changes, the file will need to be reorganized to keep it in alphabetical order and eliminate excessive disk accesses when retrieving records. The program also adds blank records for use in adding new students. The student file should be reorganized once per month, or more often if a large number ofstudents are added to it. Before running this program, make sure you have a current backup copy of the student file.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to display all the students in each section, and quickly change them to other sections, and to add or drop students from a section. Useful in situations where many students are assigned to one section, such as PE, and you now wish to move a group of them to another class, such as FOOTBALL.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to create a text file containing the telephone numbers of all or selected students. This file is then used by your automatic telephone dialer to call the students included.

------------------------------------------------

This program allows you to put a photograph of any student in your school into a VUE file. Then any SASI program showing student data can display the student photograph in a window when you use the "hot key" assigned to VUE1 or VUE2. Only student photos may be updated using this program; other student data is displayed for viewing purposes, but cannot be changed. This program requires the SASI Graphics module and a VGA monitor and adapter in order to display photographs. You must also be running in the graphics mode inside SASI. This is accomplished by entering VGA at the Enter Command: prompt in SASI. If you are not in graphics mode, the program will abort with an error message. This program also requires a Hewlett Packard ScanJet desktop scanner to input the photographs.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to display a small student photograph in the lower right corner of the screen, super- imposed over any other screen program being run. Uses the photographs scanned for each student using STUVIEW or HSCAN. Photos scanned using STUVIEW are reduced to one fourth the size displayed in that program. For a similar program which displays the photograph at full size on the right half of the screen, see VUE2.

------------------------------------------------

Used to display a large student photograph on the right half of the screen, superimposed over any other screen program being run. It uses the photographs scanned for each student using STUVIEW or HSCAN. They are displayed at the same size in which they are displayed in STUVIEW. Photos scanned using HSCAN are not nearly as clear at this size as those scanned using STUVIEW, because the resolution is not as good.

---------------------------------------------------

This program allows you to put a photograph of any student in your school into a VUE file. Then any SASI program showing student data can display the student photograph in a window when you use the "hot key" assigned to VUE1 or VUE2. Using the hand held scanner enables you to scan student photographs quickly and easily. You can enroll a new student using STUCRT, then press the ALT-key assigned to HSCAN and scan his photograph immediately.

---------------------------------------------

Used to create a new blank Name and Address file for the year and school code of the current user. If your year code is 91 (for 1991-92), and your school code is 01, the program will create a file named ADR101.DAT. The program will automatically create the necessary ID number index. Then you can use ADRCRT to add records to the new file.

-----------------------------------------

Used to print name and address labels from the Name and Address (ADR) file. It requires 3-across adhesive labels 3-1/2 inches wide and 1 inch high. The program will request the one letter group code for which you wish to print labels. This is the CODE-1 item in the address file. Next, the program will request the name of the group for which labels are to be printed. This name will print as a title on each label.

-------------------------------------------

This program may be used to print any data repeatedly on 3-across adhesive labels. It uses labels 3-1/2 inches wide and 1 inch high. You might use this program to print return address labels for your school.

---------------------------------------------------

Used to display and update records in the Name and Address (ADR) file. The ADR01 and ADR02 programs can then be used to print name and address labels from the records in this file.

------------------------------------------------

Used to create or recreate the index to the Name and Address (ADR) file. This index is normally created when the data file is created by ADR00, or sorted by ADRSRT. However, if you should lose your index file, or believe it is invalid, you can run this program to create a new one.

------------------------------------------------

Used to sort and reorganize the Name and Address (ADR) file. This must be done periodically, as new records are added, old records deleted, and names changed. Each of these functions can cause the file to become somewhat disorganized. As a general rule, whenever you have added, dropped, or changed names on 100 records, you should sort the file. When you first create the file, using ADR00, you might want to reorganize it after every fifty records.

---------------------------------------------

Used to create a blank District Student (DST) file. Normally run at the beginning of each school year. The district student file is named DST.DAT. There is no year or school code associated with the file name because the file may include information from multiple schools and years.

-------------------------------------------------------

Used to update the District Student (DST) file with student information from the schools. You must have each school's Student Master (STU) file, and the database definition file (SASI.DBD), in the same directory that contains your district file. You should be logged in to school 00 and the current school year. School code 00 contains the grade range of your district. If you are logged in to another school code, this program will update only students in the grade range assigned to that school. You MUST run the DSTSRT program after this one.

----------------------------------------------------

Used to print a three column alphabetic listing of the students in the District Student (DST) file. You should be logged in to school 00 to include the correct district name and grade range. The report prints on wide paper, and includes student name, sex, grade, birthdate and current school. If a student is currently inactive, an asterisk (*) will be printed next to his student number.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program will print one label for each family, instead of one per student, which lowers your mailing costs. The program uses 2 across labels which are 1" x 3-1/2". It sorts each student's DST record by parent last name. If a telephone number is present, it sorts by that as well. Otherwise, it uses zip code, first four digits of street address, and any number at the end of the address with a pound sign (#) in front of it. Then it print one label for each student or group of students with identical data in the above areas. This results in one label per family if the data has been input consistently.

--------------------------------------------------

This program will print a listing of the students in your District Student (DST) file in order by street address. The listing will be in sequence by street name, and by house number within each street. It shows the student's address, name, number, grade, sex, and telephone number. You can select a certain grade level to be printed, and either boys or girls. You can use a QUERY IF statement to limit the report. This program will take a while at the start to sort the students into order by address.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of the students in your district by grid code, sex and grade level. Prints kindergarten through grade six on one report, and grades 7-12 and the total for all grades on a second report. If your district does not have grades below seven, the first report will be omitted. The report prints on wide paper.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of the students in your district by ethnic code, sex andgrade level. Your district may use any ethnic codes which are numbers (0-9) or upper case letters of the alphabet. Up to twenty ethnic codes can be handled by this report. If the program encounters more than twenty different codes, the last ones will be included under the ? heading. This column also includes students with blank ethnic codes. The report prints on wide paper.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to display and update the District Student (DST) file. It uses a special form on which the district student data is displayed. Because the district file can be very large, a QUERY IF option is available to enable you to limit the program to a specific group of students.

------------------------------------------------

Used to reorganize the District Student (DST) file. As you add new students or make changes to the district file, you will need to run this program to keep the file in alphabetical order and avoid excessive disk access time when retrieving records. MUST be run every time you run DST01. It should be run at least once per month, and more often when a lot of additions or changes are made to the district file.

------------------------------------------------

Used to print specific pupil counts for the CBEDS school information form required by the state of California. The report prints counts by sex, ethnicity, and grade level for part B (School Enrollment), and by sex and ethnicity for part C (High School Graduates), and part F (Enrollment in Selected High School Courses). CBE01 also creates a text file that contains the above information, which is used by CBE02 to produce the district-wide summary.

-------------------------------------------------

This program prints a report similar to the one produced by CBE01, but shows totals for more than one school. It can be used to print a report for the entire district. It should not be run until each school's text file, created by CBE01, is collected and loaded onto the school district's computer. Any school for which a text file is present will be included in the report totals.

----------------------------------------------

This program creates a new health file at the beginning of the school year. It will look for an HLT file from the previous school year. If it cannot find one, it will display a message and ask if you wish to create a new file. If you have a health file from last year, the program will look for currently active students who have records in last year's file. When it finds such a student, it will look at the ending date of each of his conditions in the old file. If the ending date is later than the current date on your computer, that health condition will be copied into the new health file.

-------------------------------------------

Used to display and update the health file. There are fourteen health entries per page, and a student may have up to 100 entries in his file. Each entry contains the date the incident was recorded, a three character code, a thirty character comment, and condition beginning and ending dates.

------------------------------------------

Used to create a new index for the Health (HLT) file. The index is created when the file is first created by HLT00. However, if you should lose the index, or believe it is no longer valid, you can run this program to create a new one. You may also need to run this program occasionally to add blank records to the HLT file, as new records are assigned to students receiving new health information.

-------------------------------------------

Used to create a new Immunization (IMM) file at the beginning of the school year. Looks for a file from the previous year. If it cannot find one, a message will be displayed asking if you wish to create a new file. If you have an immunization file from last year, the program will look for currently active students who have records in last year's file. When it finds such a student, the program will copy his record into the new file.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to print the information required for the California School Immunization Record. This record is supplied on continuous forms by the State of California. Reports will be printed for all active students who have IMM records.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to print the information required for the California School Immunization Record on the latest forms distributed by the State of California. Reports will be printed for all active students who have IMM records.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to display and update the Immunization file. When the IMM file is created, a record will be included for every active student in your student file; either a copy of last year's record or a blank record. If a student is added to, or becomes active in, the student file after the immunization file is created, he will have no IMM record, and the program will ask if you want to add one for him.

---------------------------------------------

This program creates a new index for the immunization (IMM) file. An index is created when the file is first created by IMM00. However, if you should lose the index, or believe it is no longer valid, you can run this program to create a new one. You may need to run this program to add blank records to the file, as new records are assigned to new or re-enrolled students.

--------------------------------------------

Used to create a new blank locker file and index for the year and school code the user is currently accessing. You can set up a locker file for a future school year, in order to enter new locker combinations.

--------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of the lockers and the students to whom they are assigned. The listing fits on narrow paper. It includes locker number and combination, and for assigned lockers, student number, name, grade, and sex. You can enter a QUERY IF statement following the program name, to limit the listing to certain lockers.

------------------------------------------

Used to print locker assignments on three across labels. The labels can then be placed on cards which the school has printed for this purpose. The labels contain student name, grade, locker number and combination. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, the program asks for which attendance track to print, and prints the track code for each student. You can print the labels in order by grade, and you can specify one grade only. You can also use a QUERY IF statement to limit the labels to specific lockers.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to place the locker assignment from the locker file into each student record. LKRCRT also does this, but running this program will ensure that the student file matches the locker file assignments. The program will allow you to select a range of locker numbers to be updated, and drop other locker numbers from the student file. This way you can keep selected lockers in the student file.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of locker numbers and students assigned to them in alphabetical order by student name. The listing prints on narrow paper. It includes only lockers to which students have been assigned, and only students to whom lockers have been assigned. For each student, it shows locker number, combination, student number, name, sex and grade. You can print the report by grade, and can specify one grade only. You can also use a QUERY IF statement to limit the output to certain lockers.

-------------------------------------------------------

Used to change the student numbers in the locker file to match those in the Student Master (STU) file. You would need to do this if you reassigned student numbers for the new year and wanted to use your old locker file and have students keep the same lockers. The program uses the old number field in the student file to determine which student is assigned to each locker. This field is updated with the prior student number when you reassign student numbers.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to purge the locker file of graduates and other students who are no longer in the Student Master (STU) file. You can use it if you have not renumbered your student file, but have copied your old locker file and want students to keep the same lockers. You just need to free up the lockers which belonged to students who have left since last year. Besides updating the locker file, the program will go through the student file and make sure the locker numbers there match the locker file assignments. If it finds a discrepancy, it will update the student file to match the locker file.

--------------------------------------------------------

Used to remove all student numbers from the locker file, and all locker numbers from the student file. You would use this program if you wanted to keep the same locker numbers and combinations, but not have students keep the same locker assignments.

-------------------------------------------------------

Used for mass locker assignment. Assigns lockers in the order in which they appear in the locker file, but allows you to specify the range of lockers to be used. Students will receive lockers in alphabetical order by last name, but you may specify a group of students to receive locker assignments, such as boys or girls only, or a specific grade level, or a combination of both.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to maintain the locker file. Uses a form on which the data is displayed. The locker file must first be created by LKR00 or by copying a prior year's locker file.

---------------------------------------------

Used to sort the locker file by locker number and create a new index. Must be run periodically after adding new lockers or deleting old ones. You should also periodically copy the locker file and index to a backup floppy disk.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to maintain the Conference Reason (CNR) file. The CNR file holds eighty 13-character conference reasons, numbered 1 to 80. If there is no CNR file, this program will create a blank one. If you had a CNR file last year, you could copy it to your new file.

------------------------------------------------

Used at the beginning of the school year, to create a new conference file. If you have a conference file from the previous year, the program will copy the old conference records of continuing students into the new file. If the program cannot find a file from last year, it will ask if you wish to create a new one. If you have a conference file from last year, the program will look for currently active students who have records in last year's file. When it finds such a student, the program will copy his old conference record to the new file. This allows you to keep a continuous record of all the conferences attended by a student for as long as he is active at your school.

--------------------------------------------

Used to update the conference file with student attendance at a specific conference. The program will ask for the information to be entered for each student, and the student numbers to be updated. Whenthis information is complete, the program will display what you have entered for confirmation. It will then ask for the student numbers to be updated. As you enter each student's number, the program will display the student's name. The student's current grade level will be entered into the conference file as the grade at which this conference was attended.

Used to display and update the conference file. Each conference record contains up to ten conference incident entries per page. Each student may have up to 100 entries in this file.

--------------------------------------------

This program creates a new index for the conference (CNF) file. An index is created when the CNF file is first created by CNF00. However, if you lose the index, or believe it is no longer valid, you can run this program to create a new one. You may also need to run this program occasionally to add blank records to the CNF file, as new records are assigned to students receiving new conference information.

--------------------------------------------

Used to create a new Visitation (VIS) file. If you have a visitation file from the previous school year, the program will allow you to choose whether to copy records for continuing students into the new file, or create a new blank file.

If it does not find a previous year's file, the program will create one for the current year and school code the user is accessing.

---------------------------------------------------------

Used to print a one page report for each student with assertive discipline entries, listing information about each incident. The reports may be printed in alphabetical sequence, or by grade level. You may wish to print this report for all students at the end of each semester. It may also be printed for selected students, and used for counseling individual students.

-------------------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of students who have one or more assertive discipline records, listing information about each incident. The reports may be printed in alphabetical sequence, or by grade level. It prints on wide paper. For each student, the report lists student number, name, sex, grade, and each incident for that student. For each incident, the listing shows report date, description code, description, disposition code, days and hours, disposition starting and ending dates, demerits, and tag.

------------------------------------------------------

This program will print a list of the students who have more or less than a selected number of demerits, since a selected date. You may enter a demerit cutoff and starting date for the program to use. Otherwise, the program will use the first day of the year as the starting date, and prompt you for the demerit cutoff.

The answer sheet used is Scantron form number 3200, which has up to 100 possible questions with responses A through E. The report shows, for each student, student number, name, score and responses to each question.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Used to read scanner sheets containing responses to surveys or elections. The form used is Scantron form number 3200. The program reads a batch of sheets and prints an item analysis of the results for that batch. The report shows how many students chose each of the five possible responses, A through E, for up to 100 questions.

------------------------------------------------------------

This program is similar to SUR01, but allows multiple responses for any test item. For example, you might have a survey which allows for more than one response to a question. SUR01 would not report these correctly, since it only allows one response for any question. The report printed by this program is almost identical to that produced by SUR01. However, the percentage figures for SUR02 are based on the total number of responses to each item, rather than the total number of forms read.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to create the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) file, and to print Scantron Physical Fitness Testing scanner forms. It can be run by either elementary or secondary schools.

Used to create a new Student Scheduling (SSS) file for each new scheduling cycle. Normally run before the start of each school year or semester. Creates one scheduling record for each active student in the user's Student Master (STU) file. An option is available to create a file with no students in it. Then you would add records for students as their requests were received. You might want to do this if you needed your scheduling file arranged in a certain way which couldn't be achieved by SSS99. The students whose course requests were entered first would then be scheduled first.

----------------------------------------------------

Used when you reschedule for the second semester to take each student's year long classes from the current Student Master (STU) file as prescheduled classes. Then you can add the students' spring semester requests, and reschedule. The spring classes will be scheduled around the year long classes, so the students will continue in the year long classes they had in the fall. Optionally, you can keep any spring classes already scheduled in the STU file, and either reschedule them, or keep them as prescheduled classes.

------------------------------------------------

Used to assign maximum class sizes. Computes a maximum for each course, based on the number of requests for that course, the number of times the course is offered, and a percentage factor selected by the user. This maximum class size is then assigned to every section of that course.

-------------------------------------------------

This program is also known as the Simple Tally. It prints a listing of the total requests for each course from the Student Scheduling (SSS) file, taking the course title from the Course 2Title (CRS) file. The report prints on narrow paper, and shows the course number and title, total requests, total boys, total girls, and totals by grade level from fifth grade through twelfth grade.

-----------------------------------------------

This program prints a listing of the students who requested each course. The report prints on narrow paper. It shows the course number and title at the top of each page, with the total number of students who requested the course. The students who requested the course are printed in two columns of up to fifty students per column. The student number, name, sex, and grade are shown. You can restart the report by entering RESTART after the program name. Example: SSS04 RESTART.

------------------------------------------------

This report is also known as the Cross Tally. For each course requested, it shows the total students requesting that course, and the total students requesting that course plus each other course. The report prints on wide paper. This information is useful when developing a master schedule, because it shows how many students who asked for one course also asked for another. Then the school administrator developing the master schedule will know how many students will have a conflict if there is only one section of each of these courses.

------------------------------------------------

This program prints a more traditional conflict matrix. It allows you to choose the course numbers to be printed, and will print up to 100 courses. It will list 25 courses down the left side of each page, and 25 course numbers across the top of each page. The report is designed to print on wide paper. This program will accept input either from the keyboard, or form a text file called SSS06.TXT. The text file may contain up to 100 course numbers, separated by spaces. You can create and edit this text file using the EDITOR program.

-----------------------------------------------

This report shows course requests for each student, with course title. It usually is run after the requests are initially entered into the SSS file, to use as a verification of the course requests. The report prints on wide paper, and shows the student number, name, grade, period range, and the number and title of each course the student requested. Up to four courses are shown on each line, so most students will take at least two lines of print.

-------------------------------------------

This report shows the student who were rejected by the scheduler during the latest scheduling run. The report may be run in straight alphabetical order, by grade, or for one grade only. You can restart the printing at any student by typing RESTART and a student number. And you can combine the restart option with the grade option, entering the grade option first.

----------------------------------------------

This is normally the last scheduling program run in each scheduling cycle. It copies the student schedules in the Student Scheduling (SSS) file into the Student Master (STU) file. It will erase any schedules already in the STU file, so you must be sure you no longer need them.

-------------------------------------------------

This program prints a class load analysis, on wide paper, showing scheduling results in a form which can aid in resolving problems in the master schedule. It can be used after each scheduling run.

------------------------------------------------

Used to drop all prescheduled sections in the Student Scheduling (SSS) file. Leaves the course requests in the scheduling records, but removes the section numbers. No student will remain prescheduled into any section. This will not affect sections which have not been prescheduled. You might use this program if you ran SSS01 to keep students in their year long classes, then decided to reschedule all classes instead. After the sections have been dropped, the totals in the SMS file are no longer valid. Run SMS01 to update the totals.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to change the period range in the Student Scheduling (SSS) file for all students. Asks for a low period and a high period. This range tells the scheduler which periods each student may be assigned to classes. Do not use this program unless you want to change the period range for every student. The period ranges for individual students can be changed in SSSCRT.

Used to change the course requests in the Student Scheduling (SSS) file. Allows you to drop a combination of zero to twelve course requests and add zero to twelve requests, based on grade, sex, and specific course requests. Drops all the old course numbers, and adds all the new course numbers, for every student who has all the old course numbers. Does not update the Scheduling Master Schedule (SMS) totals, so remember to SMS01 immediately after running this program.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to list all students with open periods in the Student Scheduling (SSS) file. It requires you to specify a period range to be searched for open periods, and allows you to choose whether to check fall, spring or both semesters. Once you have listed the open periods, you may fill them with any selected course using the program SSS15. The report prints on narrow paper. It lists student number, name, sex, grade level, individual period range, and a pattern of class period assignments for each quarter of the semester(s) selected. This pattern shows the number of any period the student has open, a plus (+) for any period the student has filled, and a minus (-) for any period falling outside the period range selected.

----------------------------------------------

Used to assign any student with an open class period in his schedule to any course you wish (e.g.; study hall). First run SSS14 to see which students will be affected. Requires a course number with which to fill any open periods, and the period range and semester or trimester for which to search and update.

---------------------------------------------

This program prints a listing of students whose course requests will cause a reject if scheduled. It should be run after course requests are entered, before the first scheduling run. The program asks for the minimum number of periods for which each student should be scheduled, and the number of semesters being scheduled. If LOC switch K is greater than zero, track code will also be considered. The report shows student number, name, period range, with the course number, title, and reason for the reject.

---------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of students who have requested less than a given number of courses, based on the course requests in the Student Scheduling (SSS) file. The report is designed to print on narrow paper.

---------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of students who attend class less than a given number of periods per day, based on the class schedules in the Student Scheduling (SSS) file. Because the program takes semester classes into consideration, it will list students who have less than a full schedule either semester. The report is designed to print on narrow paper.

--------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of students who attend class more than a given number of periods a day, based on the class schedules in the Student Scheduling (SSS) file. Takes semester classes into consideration, so it will list students who have more than a full schedule either semester. This report is useful after scheduling to list students who have too many classes scheduled.

---------------------------------------------------

This program prints a class load analysis by period and course. It uses the number of requests for each course in the SSS file, and the number of sections of that course offered in the SMS file, to compute the average number of requests per section, by sex and grade level, for each course in the SMS file. The report prints on wide paper, and includes period, section number, block, semester code, course number and title, teacher number and name, room number, and seats available for each section. Next to the information for each section are totals and averages for the course that section represents. Included are total requests, total sections offered, and average requests per section for all students, boys, girls, and grade levels seven through twelve. Any other grade level will be ignored.

----------------------------------------------

Used for quick assignment of students to classes by entering the section number of the class, and the student numbers of the students to be assigned to that section. This program might be used before a new semester to enroll students in new classes. It is used by schools who assign students to sections directly, rather than using the scheduler.

--------------------------------------------------

This program prints student locator cards on special forms which are two-across, and may be one, two or three ply forms. This will produce up to six copies of each student's class schedule. The program is similar to STU31, which prints class data from the student file. It is meant to be used before you transfer the scheduling results into the student file using SSS09. The locator cards show most of the personal data from the Student Master (STU) file, and the current class schedules from the Student Scheduling (SSS) file, of all active students on the file.

----------------------------------------------------------

Used to print class rosters, or roll sheets, from the Scheduling Master Schedule (SMS) file. The rosters are printed in order by teacher number and section number. If sections are assigned by period, the output is also by teacher and period. Rosters are printed only for sections containing at least one student. The output is normally printed on one of two special class roster forms, known as temporary and permanent class rosters. These forms are kept in the teachers' roll books.

-----------------------------------------------

Used during arena scheduling, when student schedules must be entered quickly. Allows the school to input the students' new classes using several networked computers, and to print new student locator card during registration. Usually this program would be used during registration for second semester, when the students' current (first semester) classes must be kept in the student file for the final few weeks of the first semester. This program will print a locator card for each student after his schedule is entered. The forms should be in the printer before the program is started.

-------------------------------------------------

This program prints student course requests on special forms which are two-across, and may be one, two or three ply forms. It is similar to SSS31, which prints class data. It is meant to be used before you schedule the students into classes. This is especially useful before arena scheduling, to remind the students of the courses they requested. The locator cards show most of the personal data from the Student Master (STU) file, and the course requests from the Student Scheduling (SSS) file, of all active students.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program prints a listing of student schedules, similar to that produced by STU07, which prints schedules from the STU file. This listing is printed from the SSS file, and shows more information about classes and rejects. The report is designed to be used by the counseling staff, at the start of the school year or semester, in dealing with student schedule problems. The report is designed to print on narrow paper, and shows student number, name and grade. For each course the student requested, it shows the course number, course title and periods available.

---------------------------------------------------

Used to input or update student schedules in the Student Scheduling (SSS) file. It is similar to SSS33, which is used for initial input only. Both programs print two locator cards for each new schedule. However, this program has more options than SSS33, and is therefore somewhat slower.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to print blank class rosters from the Scheduling Master Schedule (SMS) file. It may be used to prepare class rosters for teachers to use before students are assigned to their classes. The rosters are printed in order by teacher number and section number, which in most schools is also by teacher and period.

-------------------------------------------

This program prints student locator cards on special forms which are two-across, and may be one, two or three ply forms. This will produce up to six copies of each student's class schedule. The program is similar to SSS31, but prints locators alphabetically by section number rather than by student.

----------------------------------------------

Used to print Scantron Course Request Input Document scanner sheets, which are used to gather student course requests. This form is used only for three digit course numbers.

-------------------------------------------

Used to read the course request sheets printed by SSS42, using a Scantron half-page or full-page scanner.

------------------------------------------------

Used to print Scantron Course Request Input Document scanner sheets. These are special Scantron forms, used to gather student course requests. This scanner form is used only for four digit course numbers (0000-9999). The sheets can handle up to sixteen course requests, with course numbers as high as 9999. There is also a three digit teacher number next to each course request, to be used for teacher preference in scheduling.

------------------------------------------------

This program will read the course request sheets printed by SSS44, using the Scantron model 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 2100, or 2700 scanner.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to print NCS scanner sheets for gathering student course requests. These are special forms entitled STUDENT COURSE REQUEST, NCS form 75131. The sheets can handle up to 16 4-digit course requests. There is also a 3-digit teacher number next to each course request that can be used if your school uses teacher preference in scheduling.

----------------------------------------------

Used to read the NCS course request sheets printed by SSS46, using the NCS Sentry 3000 scanner. The scanner should be on-line, with the READY and CD lights on and .C in the display window, before the program is started.

-------------------------------------------------

The student scheduling programs can optionally balance classes by sex and ethnicity. The ethnic group of each student is kept in the GROUP field in the student scheduling record. Normally, this is set to zero, and is not used by the scheduler. This program is used to set the group code in the Student Scheduling (SSS) file for all students, based on ethnic code in the Student Master (STU) file.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Used to recreate the Student Scheduling (SSS) file in one of the following sequences, so the scheduling program will schedule students in that sequence. Alphabetical order - normal sequence Alpha by reverse grade level - highest to lowest grade Reverse alphabetical order - Z's first Reverse alpha and reverse grade Alphabetical order starting at any student name Alpha order starting at any student, reverse grade order You can let students at the end of the alphabet schedule ahead of everyone else for a change. Or you can specify a starting point anywhere in the student file. Or priority can be given to the highest grade levels. This program also eliminates scheduling records which may have accumulated for dropped students.

-------------------------------------------------------

Used to display and update the Student Scheduling (SSS) file, and the Scheduling Master Schedule (SMS) file, and to schedule students into specific classes based on their course requests. The program uses two forms on which the data is displayed. The student data is shows on one form, and the master schedule data on another. The primary purpose of this program is to schedule students into classes.

---------------------------------------

Used to create an index to the Student Scheduling (SSS) file, based on student numbers. The index is needed to locate each student's scheduling record using his student number. The index is created when you create the scheduling file using SSS00. However, if you lose the index, or suspect it is no longer valid, you can run this program to create a new one.

-----------------------------------------------

This program displays the scheduling options currently in effect for your school, and allows you to change them. It serves the same purpose as function code O in the program SSSCRT.

-------------------------------------------

Used to schedule students into classes. Performs the same scheduling process used by the $ function in SSSCRT.

------------------------------------------------

The purpose of this program is to optimize the results of your final scheduling run. It will normally be run at the end of a scheduling cycle, when the very best results have already been achieved using SSSCRT or SCHEDX. There are usually some students who cannot be scheduled because one or more of the classes they need are full.

-------------------------------------------------------

Used to create a new Scheduling Master Schedule (SMS) file at the beginning of the semester. The new file will be named SMS---.DAT, with the user's current year and school code completing the name. If you already have a Master Schedule (MST) file for the current year and school code, the program asks if you want to copy this file instead of creating a blank file. You might want to do this if the SMS file will not be very different from the MST file, or if you are doing second semester scheduling and want to keep the year long classes, so you will not have to re-enter all the data.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is required to maintain the correct total number of students scheduled into each section after a scheduling run. It also checks the total students prescheduled into each class. The scheduling program expects these totals to be correct. If they are not, the scheduler might overload some classes.

----------------------------------------------------

This program prints a listing of each section in the Scheduling Master Schedule (SMS) file which has been assigned a course number. The report is printed in section number order, skipping any unused sections. In most schools, this will produce a listing by period of all the classes in the master schedule. Other programs in the SMS series are available to print similar listings in other sequences. The report is designed to fit on narrow white paper.

-------------------------------------------------

This program prints a listing on narrow paper, of each class in the school's Scheduling Master Schedule. The report is printed in order by course number, period, and teacher number. It shows the section number, period, block, semester code, course number and title, teacher number and name, room, credit value, maximum class size, and total students assigned to each class. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, indicating a multi-track school, track code will also be printed. A similar report is produced by SMS13. It included totals by sex and grade, and requires wide paper.

Used to create a new Attendance Calendar (ATC) file for the current school year and code. The ATC file should be created prior to the beginning of each school year. It defines school attendance months, weeks, days, holidays, and other non-attendance months, weeks, days, holidays, and other non-attendance days, for the entire school, and the track vacation days for each track.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to print a calendar of the school year by track (1-6), attendance month (1-14) and week (1-56). This calendar may be used during the school year to provide you with the correct month, week, and day numbers for attendance reporting purposes. After you have created your calendar file with ATC00 and entered all the school dates, holiday codes and track vacation days with ATCCRT, you may use this program to print a calendar.

------------------------------------------------

Used to maintain the Attendance Calendar (ATC) file, which contains the school dates for the year and codes for school holidays, track vacation days, and other non-attendance days. The ATC file is used primarily for attendance purposes, and contains up to 14 attendance months. Each month contains twenty dates, one for each weekday during each of four weeks. In addition to the date, there is a code which denotes whether that date is a holiday, track vacation day, or other non-attendance day.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to maintain the Attendance Reason (ATR) file. The absence codes may be defined by each school to meet its own needs. A file with standard codes will be created automatically by this program when it is first run, if the ATR file does not already exist. The Attendance Reason file contains 26 records, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each letter may be used to define a reason for absence in the Daily Attendance (ATD) and Period Attendance (ATP) systems.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to create a new Attendance Reason (ATR) file for the current school year and school code. The ATR file should be created prior to the beginning of each school year. If you are creating the file for the first time, this program will create one with default codes. If you have an ATR file from the preceding school year, the program will copy the codes from last year's file to the new file.

------------------------------------------------

Used at the start of the school year to create a new Daily Attendance (ATD) file. The Student Master (STU) file must already exist for the year. One record will be created for each student who has a space under status code in the student file (active students only). Each record will contain the student number and 280 blank attendance codes. The Attendance Category (ATS) file is also created by this program, and contains the student's current attendance category information. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, indicating a year round school, the number located in the TR field in the STU file will be placed in the ATD track field.

-------------------------------------------

Used to print a Gain/Loss report from the Daily Attendance (ATD) file. This report lists each student in the attendance file who has entered or left school since the first day of school. The report should be run at the end of each school on the first day of school, and on each school day thereafter in which any student was entered or dropped. The school dates are obtained from the Attendance Calendar (ATC) file, which is maintained by ATCCRT.

---------------------------------------------------

This program prints a detailed report for any attendance month, showing each student's attendance during the month. The report is printed in alpha- betical sequence by track, special education code, and grade level. If LOC option switch K is greater than 1, the report is sorted first by track. If LOC option switch E is set to 1 or 2, the program asks whether to sort by teacher as well.

Used to print a report containing totals for each track, special education code, and grade level, and combined totals for grade levels 1-3, 4-6, 7-8, and 9-12, which are shown on the ATD02 detail report. If LOC option switch E is set to 1 or 2, teacher totals are also included.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing or 3-across labels of all students who have not been absent all year. Days of non-enrollment and days with absence type 4 (school activity), or 5 (tardy) are not counted as absences. The listing shows student number, name, sex, grade, home phone and parent name. The labels show parent name, student name, address, city, state and zip code.

-------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing showing students reported absent on the current date. This report is designed to be run early in the day, just after the scanner sheets for this day have been scanned, and distributed to the teachers to catch students who show up in a later class the same day.

--------------------------------------------------

This report is similar to ATD07, but prints only students who have a code of absence type 5 (tardy) for the current date. This indicates the student was tardy to the class in which roll was taken. The report shows, for each student, student number, name, grade level, sex, parent/ guardian, and home telephone. If the father's work number is available, it is printed under the PARENTS-WORK heading. The mother's work phone is printed if the father's work phone is not available.

------------------------------------------------------

Used to list students who have been absent from school a given number of times since a selected date. It will list students absent five or move times since the first day of school, or you may enter a different number of absences and a different starting date with the program name.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to print one of three letters to the parents of students who have been absent a selected number of times since a given date. Any absence code with a Y under LETTERS in ATRCRT is counted. Three limits or cutoffs are established for the letters by the school. These are usually five, ten and fifteen absences.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to print scanner forms to keep one month of attendance for each student. The forms show up to 18 students on each form, and allow for the coding of N for not enrolled, X for excused, and U for unexcused, for twenty days. The program requires the month (1-14) for which the sheets are to be printed. For schools keeping a master schedule, it also requires the class period for which to print sheets, and the semester (F for fall or S for spring) for which to print. The sheets will be printed in order by teacher number for the class each student has during this period.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to read the scanner sheets printed by ATD12, using a Scantron scanner. These sheets are normally read one time, at the end of the school month.

--------------------------------------------------

This program creates the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file from which attendance scanner sheets are printed for each two week period. The file created by this program is designed for printing Scantron form 3002 and NCS form 16625. If you use NCS form 71957, use ATD61 to create a PAC file designed for that form. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, indicating a multi-track school, the program allows you to create sheets for all students, or for selected tracks only.

---------------------------------------------------------

Used to print attendance scanner forms from the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file created by ATD21, using Scantron form 3002. If LOC switch T is set to 1, the sheets will be printed for one week at a time, and you may use the second column to mark tardies.

---------------------------------------------------

Used to read the scanner sheets printed by ATD22, and update the Daily Attendance (ATD) file with the information marked by the teachers. Your CRT terminal, Scantron scanner, and printer should all be on-line prior to starting the program.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to print Absence Verification Input Document scanner sheets. This form is used to input the verified reasons for absences in the Daily Attendance (ATD) file. The program prints each student who has an unverified absence (absence type 1) in the Daily Attendance (ATD) file for any school day. It starts from the first day of the school year unless you enter another starting date with the program name, and prints unverified absences through the current date on your computer.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to read the scanner sheets printed by ATD30, using a Scantron scanner. The scanner should be on-line before the program is started.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to print Absence Verification Input Document scanner sheets, NCS form number 75318, for the NCS Sentry 3000 scanner. This form is used to input the verified reasons for absences in the Daily Attendance (ATD) file. Program allows you to use two user defined absence codes in addition to the default codes preprinted on the sheets.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to read the scanner sheets printed by ATD32, using the NCS Sentry 3000 scanner. The scanner should be on-line before this program is started. The program looks for an intensity file called ATD33.SCN. See the scanner options documentation for information about creating this file.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to print an attendance summary by student for the current school year. The program allows you to choose which absence codes are to be included. If you choose to include eight or fewer codes, the report will fit on narrow paper. Or you may choose up to 21 codes, to be printed on wide paper. The report is printed in alphabetical order by student. If LOC option switch E is greater than zero, the report will be printed alphabetically by teacher number.

------------------------------------------------------

Used to print a one page report for each student, showing the daily attendance record for the current year. The reports may be printed for all students or selected students. The report prints on wide paper, and shows the same data as is displayed by ATDCRT, including an attendance summary at the bottom of each form showing totals for each absence code.

----------------------------------------------------

Used to print attendance scanner sheets from the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file created by ATD21. It requires NCS form number 16625, from which two weeks of attendance may be updated. The program prints one sheet for each record in the PAC file. This is usually one sheet per class, since each sheet holds up to fifty students. Larger classes will require extra sheets. Two or more classes may be printed on the same sheet if they share the same teacher and period.

-------------------------------------------

Used to read the NCS scanner sheets printed by ATD52, and update the Daily Attendance (ATD) file with the information marked by the teachers. It is usually run once a day, after the sheets are collected from the teachers. Your CRT terminal, NCS scanner and printer should all be on-line before you start the program. The program also requires an intensity file, ATD53.SCN.

----------------------------------------------

This program creates the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file from which NCS attendance scanner sheets, NCS form 71957, are printed. If you use NCS form 16635, use ATD21 to create the PAC file. The name of the file created contains the week, year and school code for which this program is run. More than one PAC file can be kept at one time. This allows you to finish scanning the last day or two of one set of sheets after you have printed a new set for the coming week.

----------------------------------------------------

Used to print attendance scanner sheets from the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file created by ATD61, on NCS form 71597. It prints one sheet for each record in the PAC file. This is usually one sheet per class, since each sheet will hold up to 44 students. Larger classes will require extra sheets. Two or more classes may be printed on the same sheet if they share the same teacher and period.

--------------------------------------------

Used to read the NCS scanner sheets printed by ATD62, and update the Daily Attendance (ATD) file with the information marked by the teachers. It is usually run once a day, after the sheets are collected from the teachers. Your CRT terminal, NCS scanner, and printer should all be on-line before you start the program. The intensity file used by this program is called ATD63.SCN.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to print attendance totals for each grade level, and combined totals for grades 1-3 and 4-6, for the entire school district. The report is printed by special education code, track, and grade level.

---------------------------------------------

Used to maintain data in the Daily Attendance (ATD) file. The ATD file is used to produce the monthly attendance (ADA) report. It contains one record for each student in the Student Master (STU) file who attends school during the current school year. This includes students who are currently inactive but who attended earlier in the year. Valid school days are defined in the Attendance Calendar (ATC) file maintained by ATCCRT.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This program permits the user to display a full class listing for simple and fast input of absence codes. It is intended for schools who do not use a scanner to enter absence data, and who enter absence data during one selected period only. The absence codes which may be used are those defined by the school in ATRCRT. Unlike ATDCRT, you cannot add or drop students using this program: it is simply a quick and easy method for recording absence data.

---------------------------------------------------

This program creates a new index to the Daily Attendance (ATD) file so records may be located quickly via student number. The index is initially created when the Daily Attendance file is created by ATD00. However, if you should lose the index, or suspect it is invalid, you can run this program to create a new index.

------------------------------------------------------

Used to display and update the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file used in the daily attendance accounting system. The PAC file contains one record for each scanner sheet printed for a one or two week period. Allows the user to display any sheet, make changes, additions, or deletions to the sheet record, and update attendance for the students on that sheet for any attendance date included in the PAC file.

---------------------------------------------------

Used to maintain data in the Daily Attendance (ATD) file. Similar to ATDCRT, but displays only the first character of the attendance code for each day.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program permits the user to display a full class listing for simple and fast input of absence codes. It is intended for schools who do not use a scanner to enter absence data, and who enter absence data during one selected period only. The absence codes which may be used are those defined by the school in ATRCRT. Unlike ATNCRT, you cannot add or drop students using this program; it is simply a quick and easy method for recording absence data.

--------------------------------------------

Used to create the CAR file at the start of each school year. Asks for the starting day of school from the Attendance Calendar (ATC) file, if not 001. You may enter a different starting day if necessary. The program will create a record for each student, with his current class schedule. If you have defined a teacher aide course number in the Master Schedule (MST) file, the program will use that course number for the section tagged in the STU record for any student as a teacher aide class. An index to the new CAR file will also be created. You only run this program once, usually at the beginning of the school year.

-----------------------------------------------

This program is normally run at the end of each school day, to update the CAR file with any schedule changes which have occurred since the last time it was run. If you are certain that there have been no schedule changes, then you need not run the program.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to print letters to the parents of students who have been absent a selected number of times in any course. The program totals absences from the beginning of the semester, or from a starting date entered by the operator. Course changes are monitored by the Course Attendance (CAR) file. Only the students' current classes are includes on the letters, and the only absences included are those defined in the Absence Reason (ATR) file as pertaining to letters.

------------------------------------------------

Used to display student attendance by course, and to enter changes if necessary. Normally all updating of the file is done by CAR01, which should be run daily. However, this program may be used to add, drop or change Course Attendance data. The program assumes you use the Period Attendance (ATP) system, and have all the associated data files.

-------------------------------------------------------

Used at the start of the school year to create a new Period Attendance (ATP) file and index. The ATP file is used all year to keep each student's daily and period absences. You should create the file before you start to input period attendance, but not before you have all (or most) of the new students in the student file. The ATP file contains absence data for up to 280 school days, including day number (1-280), all day reason for absence (for apportionment attendance), and ten period absence codes. A new Attendance Category (ATS) file is created at the same time, containing the current attendance category information including grade level, special education code, teacher number, attendance track, and an enter code of E.

-------------------------------------------------

The Period Attendance Class (PAC) file is created each week (or two), prior to printing a set of scanner sheets for the teachers. Normally, this program would be run on Thursday or Friday of the week before the sheets are to be used. The file created by this program is designed for printing Scantron form 3002 or NCS form 16625. If you use NCS form 71957, use ATP61 to create a PAC file designed for that form. The program will create a new PAC file every time it is run. You must supply the week and current semester to the program. Only classes meeting during the specified semester are included in the sheet file.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Used to print scanner forms for the next week or two of attendance from the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file created by the program APT01. This program requires a Scantron scanner and Scantron form #3002. It prints one sheet for each record in the PAC file. This is usually one sheet per class, since each sheet will hold up to 54 students. Larger classes may require extra sheets. Each sheet is slugged in the upper right corner with special marks simulating pencil marked bubbles. This marking is CRITICAL to the successful reading of the sheets during the next one or two week period.

--------------------------------------------------

Updates the Period Attendance (ATP and PAC) files, using the scanner sheets printed by ATP02. Usually run several times per day, after the sheets have been picked up from the teachers. Your school will decide when is the best time of day to have them processed. It may even be done after each period of the day, in order to keep the absences current. Your CRT terminal, Scantron scanner, and printer should all be on-line prior to starting the program.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program will change all unverified period absences (type 1), prior to a selected ending date, to verified absences. You can select a cutoff date and verified absence code, if you wish, or accept the default date and code. The default cutoff date is three school days prior to the current date. The default code is U for unexcused. The program will search the Period Attendance file for unverified absences prior to, but not including, the ending date. It will then change them to the reason code you have indicated. The program will print a listing of all students affected, and their attendance data before and after the change. NOTE: This program does not change all day codes, even if they are entered as unverified. It only changes period absence codes.

-------------------------------------------------------

Used for quick entry of absence reasons for students in a given class. An example might be if a class takes a field trip that lasts several periods. This program could be used to enter a code of V for school activity for the periods the students missed. You cannot enter a tardy or an unverified absence with this program. Before running this program, you must know the section number of the class to be updated.

------------------------------------------------

This program prints a list of all students who were reported absent during a selected period, for any date. It will automatically print absences for second period, on the current date, if you do not request an alternative period or date. The report is normally printed in alpha- betical order, but you can ask for it to be printed by grade. Other options allow you to select one grade only, or one track only.

--------------------------------------------------

This program prints students who were present a selected period, and were reported absent in any other period during the day. Unless you select another base period, it will use second period, and it will print for the current date unless you select another date. If you specify both a period and a date, type the period first. The program will search the student and attendance files for students not absent during the selected period, but reported absent any other period.

--------------------------------------------------

This program will print a list of the students who have been reported absent more or less than a selected number of times in any period, since a selected date. The only absence reasons considered are those defined in your Absence Reason (ATR) file as counting toward letters to parents. This report and the letters are usually printed together. You may enter an absence cutoff for the program to use. And you may enter a starting date. Otherwise, the program will use five absences as the cutoff, and the first day of the semester as the starting date. Other options let you select a sort sequence, and limit the report by grade and/or track.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program prints one of three letters to the parents of students who have been absent a selected number of times in any period since a given date. The only absences included are those defined in you Absence Reason (ATR) file as pertaining to letters.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This report is normally run at the end of each school day. It lists all students reported absent for a selected number of periods during the day. It may be run for any date during the school year, for a selected attendance track or all tracks. There is also an option to print only students with unverified absences for the selected date, or cumulative unverified absences from the beginning of the semester. The report is meant to be used by the attendance office in verifying the reasons for student absences. There is a space in the far right margin to mark the reasons for the absences, as they are received from various sources. Then the reasons may be placed into each student's Period Attendance (ATP) record. You school may with to give a copy of this report to the counselors periodically, so they will know of any attendance problems.

----------------------------------------------------------

This report may be run at any time during the school day. It lists all students who were reported tardy one or more periods during the day. It may be run for any date during the school year. The report is similar to ATP11, which shows absences. Your school may wish to give a copy of this report to the counselors periodically, so they will know of any attendance problems.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program will print a one page report for each student, or selected students, showing the period attendance data for the current semester. You may wish to print this report for all students at the end of each semester. It may also be used for counseling selected students. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, indicating a multi-track school, the program will ask whether to print reports for students in all tracks or one track only. Other options allow you to sort by grade and restart at a specified point.

------------------------------------------------

This program will print a list of all students in each class, by teacher and period. The list shows each student's absences that period for a six week interval. It also shows each student's total unverified absences (ABS), unexcused absences (UNX), and tardies (TDY) that period since the first day of the semester. You can enter a week number following the program name, or allow the program to ask you to enter the week number.

-------------------------------------------------

This program will print a list for each teacher of all that teacher's current students who were reported absent in any period. The default is to print a list for the current date, but you can specify any day during the year. You can also restart on any teacher number.

----------------------------------------------------

This report is designed for use by continuation schools, who require a positive attendance accounting system. These schools use the tardy (absence type 5) indicator in the Period Attendance file to denote present in class. This means they must mark every student either absent or present (tardy) during every period of the day. The program will print a report for one attendance month (1-14), showing each student's attendance each period of each day during the month. The report prints alphabetically by student name. A separate report is printed for each special education code and attendance track. The report prints on wide paper. You will be required to enter the attendance month and the number of minutes to be used for each class period.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is designed for use by continuation schools, to print a positive attendance audit report. This report is used to see where any hours over maximum apportionment for each week are credited for each student. It may be printed for any or all months during the school year. The report prints alphabetically by student name, and shows each student's attendance each period of each day during the month(s) specified. A separate report is printed on wide paper for each special education code and attendance track. The program will ask for the starting month (1-14) and the ending month (1-14) for the report. It also asks for the number of minutes to be used for each class period, and the number of minutes passing time between periods. These numbers are used to calculate total hours of attendance based on the number of class periods attended.

---------------------------------------------------

This program is available for use when your scanner breaks down, and you have period attendance marked on scanner sheets (from ATP01 and ATP02). You can use this program temporarily to enter attendance data until the scanner can be repaired. It is very similar to ATP03, which reads the scanner sheets. You will enter essentially the same data that program reads from the scanner. This includes the sheet numbers, a code for absent, tardy or present, and line numbers of students to be updated.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This is another alternative to ATP03. It will read scanner sheets and update an entire week at a time. It might be used if you got behind in your daily scanning, or the scanner was broken for a long time. Or your school might decide to scan weekly rather than daily. The program is essentially the same as ATP03, except it will ask for a week number when you run it.

-----------------------------------------------

This program will print either a listing or three-across address labels of students with no period absences during a specified range of dates. Days of non-enrollment, school activities, and periods marked tardy are not counted as absences. The listing shows student number, name, sex, grade, home phone and parent name. The labels show parent name, student name, address, city, state and zip code. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, indicating a multi-track school, the program will ask whether to print the output for all tracks or one track only.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program prints an add/drop listing by teacher, similar to the one produced by STU08. It also lists all students, in each of the teacher's classes, who have been absent that period during the past two weeks. Unless a student has changed classes recently, this should be a record of the absences of each student in each teacher's classes. The report will be printed by teacher number and section number. The add/drop portion is printed first, followed by the attendance report.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to print Absence Verification Input Document scanner sheets. This form is used to input the verified reasons for absences in the Period Attendance file. The form contains the default absence codes. If your school uses a different set of codes, you will not be able to use this form. The program will print each student who has an unverified absence in the Period Attendance (ATP) file during any period of any school day during the current semester. You may optionally select a starting date other than the first day of the semester. If yours is a multi-track school, the program will ask if you wish to print one track only or all tracks.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to read the scanner sheets printed by ATP30, using a Scantron scanner. References the Master Schedule (MST) file to check the period each student has classes. The program assumes the current semester is first semester unless you have entered the second semester starting date in the ATP file with ATP99. Classes not meeting during the current semester will be ignored.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to print Absence Verification Input Document scanner sheets (NCS form number 75318) for the NCS Sentry 3000 scanner. This form is used to input the verified reasons for absences in the Period Attendance file. The program will print each student who has an unverified absence in the Period Attendance (ATP) file for any period of any school day during the current semester. You may optionally select a starting date other than the first day of the semester. If no starting date is specified, the program will get the first day of the semester from the ATP file.

--------------------------------------------

Used to read the scanner sheets printed by ATP32, using the NCS Sentry 3000 scanner. References the Master Schedule (MST) file to check the period each student has classes. Assumes the current semester is first semester unless you have entered the second semester starting date in the ATP file with ATP99. Classes not meeting during the current semester will be ignored.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to print NCS scanner forms for two weeks of attendance, from the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file created by the program ATP01. Asks for the week number of the current PAC file, and prints one sheet for each record in the PAC file. This is usually one sheet per class, since each sheet will hold up to 51 students. Larger classes may require extra sheets. Each sheet is slugged in the upper left corner with special marks simulating pencil marked bubbles. This marking is CRITICAL to the successful reading of the sheets during the next two weeks.

--------------------------------------------

Used to update the Period Attendance (ATP and PAC) files using the NCS scanner sheets printed by ATP42. Usually run several times per day, after the attendance sheets have been collected from the teachers. May be done after every class period, in order to keep the absences current. Your CRT terminal, NCS scanner, and printer should all be on-line prior to starting the program.

---------------------------------------------------------

Used to print NCS Absence Verification Input Document scanner sheets, form MB01-15987-76. This form is used to input the verified reasons for absences in the Period Attendance (ATP) file, using the NCS 3000 scanner. Prints each student who has an unverified absence in the Period Attendance file for any period of any school day during the current semester. You may optionally enter a date other than the first day of the semester to be used as a starting date. If no other starting date is specified, the program will get the first day of the semester from the Period Attendance file.

---------------------------------------------------------

Used to read the scanner sheets printed by ATP44, using the NCS Sentry 3000 scanner. The scanner should be connected and running, with a form ready to feed, prior to starting this program.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to print a one page report for each student, showing all day attendance information for the current year. The reports may be printed for all students or selected students, and will print on narrow paper. Shows days not enrolled, holidays, and all day absences as displayed by ATPCRT, and includes an attendance summary at the bottom of each form showing totals for each absence code. Asks for starting and ending dates.

---------------------------------------------

Used to print a Gain/Loss report from the Student Master (STU) and Period Attendance (ATP) files. The report will list every student in these files who has entered or left school since the first day of school. Any student without a record in the Period Attendance (ATP) file will be bypassed with an error message. The report will show the total enrollment by grade and sex on the first day of school, and updated totals on each day that any student was entered or dropped. This program uses the start and end dates in the students' attendance category records to determine gains and losses.

--------------------------------------------------

This program prints a report for any attendance month, detailing each student's attendance during the month. The report is printed alphabetically by special education code, grade level, and attendance track. It shows student number, name, sex, and attendance for each day of the month. The reasons for days of non-attendance are shown using the first three characters of the absence code title from the school's Absence Reason (ATR) file; e.g.: ILL for illness. Total days not enrolled, apportionment absences, and non- apportionment absences are shown on the right side of the page.

---------------------------------------------------

This report contains the totals from the ATP52 detail report for each special education group by grade level. The report shows, for each special education code/grade level/track, days taught, total carried forward, total gains, total enrolled, total losses, ending enrollment, actual days, total days not enrolled, total days absence, total days illness, actual attendance, apportionment attendance, average daily attendance, percent of actual, and loss after last day.

------------------------------------------------

Used to create the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file from which NCS scanner sheets are printed. The PAC file is created every two weeks, prior to printing scanner sheets for the teachers. Normally this program would be run on Thursday or Friday of the week before the sheets are to be used. The PAC file created by this program is intended for use with NCS form #71957, and contains a record for each scanner sheet printed by ATP62. If you use Scantron scanner forms, or NCS form 16625, use ATP01 to create the PAC file. This program will create a new PAC file every time it is run. You must supply the week and current semester to the program.

------------------------------------------------------

Used to print NCS attendance scanner sheets, NCS form 71957, for the next two weeks of attendance from the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file created by ATP61. Prints one sheet for each record in the PAC file. This is usually one sheet per class, since each sheet will hold up to 44 students. Larger classes may require extra sheets. Each sheet will be slugged in the upper right corner with special marks simulating pencil marked bubbles. This marking is CRITICAL to the successful reading of the sheets during the next two week period.

------------------------------------------------

Used to update the Period Attendance (ATP) file using the scanner sheets printed by ATP62, after they have been marked by the teachers. Normally it is run several times each day, after sheets are received from the teachers. Your printer and NCS scanner should be on-line prior to starting this program.

-----------------------------------------------------

This report is designed for use by continuation schools, to print the Part II-C Attendance Patterns report for the Continuation Education Year-End Site Report. The report prints on wide paper. For each attendance month, it shows total number of school days, year's total cumulative enrollment to date, current enrollment at end of month, total hours of actual attendance, school apportionment base and ADA estimate, and hours beyond apportionment base and ADA estimate. The program will ask you to enter the date of the last school day, and the number of minutes per class period.

-------------------------------------------------------

This is an alternative to ATP63. It will read scanner sheets and update an entire week at a time. It might be used if you got behind in your daily scanning, or the scanner was broken for a long time. Or your school might decide to scan weekly rather than daily. The program is essentially the same as ATP63, except it will ask for a week number when you run it.

-------------------------------------------------

Some of the period attendance programs produce output for the current semester only. The first day of the current semester is kept in the first record of the Period Attendance (ATP) file. When the file is created, this day is set to 1, meaning the current (first) semester starts on the first day in the Attendance Calendar (ATC) file. After second semester begins, you should run this program to change the starting day of the current semester. Otherwise, any programs using this date will continue to include first semester absences.

------------------------------------------------

Used to display and update each student's period attendance record. The absence codes are established by the school using the program ATRCRT.

---------------------------------------------

This program creates an index to the Period Attendance (ATP) file so any student's record Šmay be quickly located by student number. It also creates a new index to the Attendance Category (ATS) file. The index is created initially by ATP00, which creates the Period Attendance data file. However, if you should lose the index, or suspect it is invalid, you can run this program to create a new index. You will also need to run it periodically as you accumulate attendance data, to add blank records to the ATP file. NOTE: No one else should be accessing the ATP file when you run this program.

------------------------------------------------------

Used to display and update the Period Attendance Class (PAC) file used in the period attendance accounting system. This file contains a record for each scanner sheet printed for a one or two week period. This program allows the user to display the students on any current attendance marking sheet, and to make certain changes, additions, or deletions to the sheet record.

Used to create a new blank Comments (COM) file for the current school year. The comment descriptions are then added using COMCRT. The COM file is used to store the teacher comments which may be printed on the reports produced by the Progress Reporting (PRG) and Grade Reporting (GRD and RPT) systems. If you use the same comments from one year to the next, you do not need to use this program to create a new file each year. You can copy the previous year's Comments file using the COPY command. For example: COPY COM101.DAT COM201.DAT.

------------------------------------------

Used to display and update the Grade Reporting Comments (COM) file. A description may be entered for each 1-character comment code.

----------------------------------------------------

Used to display the Message (MSG) file, and update the message descriptions. The Message file is used to store messages which may be printed on the report cards based on codes stored in the MSG field of the Student Master (STU) file. The file contains 20 message codes, A through T, and a description for each code. A message description may be up to 62 characters in length. If you do not already have a Message file, this program will create one. To create a file for the new year, use the COPY command. For example: COPY MSG801.DAT MSG901.DAT

--------------------------------------------------

Used to create a new Progress Reporting (PRG) file and index for each reporting period. You may enter the quarter or grading period with the program name, or wait for the program to ask for it. The grading period determines which classes will be included in the Progress Reporting and Sheet files. Valid entries are 1 or 2 for first semester, 3 or 4 for second semester. Or you may enter 5 to include all classes regardless of semester. Normally, you will want to include only classes which meet during the current semester. If a Progress Reporting file already exists for this grading period, the program will display a warning message, and wait for your response.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to create a Progress Reporting Sheet (SHT) file from which Scantron scanner sheets may be printed for the current progress reporting period. You should have a new Progress Reporting (PRG) file before running this program. If you want the current total period absences for each student to be printed on the sheets, run PRG60 before running this program. If you use the Daily Attendance (ATD) system, run PRG61 to put daily absences totals into the PRG file. Or use PRG62 to update the PRG file from the Course Attendance Reporting (CAR) file.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to print Scantron mark input sheets from the Progress Reporting Sheet (SHT) file created by PRG01. References the Student Master (STU), Course Title (CRS), and Teacher Name (TCH) files, but not the Master Schedule (MST) file. Uses Scantron form 3000. Because printer line-up on this form is critical, has a special line-up routine at the start so you can align the forms before it starts printing sheets.

------------------------------------------------

Used to read the scanner sheets printed by PRG02 after they have been marked by the teachers. Uses a Scantron scanner to read the sheets. On a half page scanner, the forms must be passed through the scanner twice, once on the left side and once on the right. When reading the left side, the students' academic and citizenship marks are updated. When reading the right side, the comments and work habits marks are updated. The program also produces a missing sheet list.

-------------------------------------------------

This program prints student progress reports or deficiency notices on special datamailer forms. The datamailers are printed alphabetically by student, or may be printed for selected students only. If your school wishes to hand out progress reports during homeroom or some selected class period, you may want to run PRG14 instead of PRG04. This program includes several options.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of each student's marks for the current progress reporting cycle. The report may be printed alphabetically by student name, or by grade level, or for one grade only. The report prints on wide paper. For each student who received a progress mark, it shows student name, grade, sex, and student number on the left side. On the right side of the report is listed each class in which the student received a mark, showing period, course title, teacher name, academic mark, citizenship mark, work habits mark, total absences. comment codes and the comments to which they correspond.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to print a report by teacher number of the progress marks given to every student in each class. The report is distributed to the teachers for verification of the marks they gave their students. Prints on narrow paper. Each class is printed on a separate page. Uses the Sheet (SHT) file to sort the output into classes. You can print the report for all teachers, or restart at a specified teacher number.

---------------------------------------------------

Used to print a report of students who received a selected academic mark a specified number of times in the current progress reporting period. Allows you to choose how many of each mark a student must receive in order to be included. You may select a required number for any or all of the following academic marks: A, B, C, D, F, I and NM. And you may list all classes for each included student, or only classes in which he received one of the selected marks. The report includes students who meet any condition chosen, regardless of any other marks. It is designed to print on wide paper. There are options for printing a selected grade, and for using a conditional IF statement to limit the report to selected students.

----------------------------------------------------

Used to print a mark distribution report in order by teacher, course, and period. This analysis shows totals, percentages, and grade point averages of all academic marks given for each class, for each teacher, and for the entire school. The report prints on wide paper. It lists teacher number and name for each teacher. For each class taught by that teacher, if shows course number and title, class period, totals and percentages of students who received marks of A, B, C, D, F and I, total and percentage of students who received any other mark, and grade point average, on a four point scale, of all marks given. The report also includes summary totals by teacher and for the entire school.

-------------------------------------------------------

Used to print progress report forms in order by teacher number for a selected class period. This allows you to distribute the reports during homeroom, for example. To print the reports in alphabetical order by student, use PRG04. Unlike PRG04, this program does not print permit and address information. Instead it prints teacher name and period for distribution. But you may use the datamailers so the grades are not visible from the outside. Or use the two-ply form.

--------------------------------------------------------

Used to add to the Progress Reporting (PRG) and Scantron Sheet (SHT) files, created by PRG01, any class not included in the existing PRG and SHT files. This is helpful when, after printing your marking sheets, you discover one or more classes were not included. Usually this is because they were tagged incorrectly in the Master Schedule (MST) file. You may enter up to fifty section numbers of classes to be added. Do not enter any section number which is already included in the progress file, since the students in that class will then have duplicate classes in their records. If a teacher loses his sheets, you can reprint those sheets using PRG02 with the teacher number. If you use PRG41 to create the SHT file, and PRG42 to print sheets, use PRG46 to add classes to the PRG and SHT files.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to create a Progress Reporting Sheet (SHT) file from which NCS scanner sheets may be printed for the current progress reporting cycle. You should have a new Progress Reporting (PRG) file before running this program. The PRG file is created by PRG00. If you want the current total period absences for each student to be printed on the sheets, run PRG20, PRG21 or PRG22 to put period, daily or course absence totals into the PRG records. The program will not create sheets for classes for which the MST status tags were corrected after PRG00 was run. The correct way to add sheets to the existing files is with PRG46.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to print NCS progress reporting scanner sheets from the Sheet (SHT) file created by PRG41. References the Student Master (STU), Course Title (CRS), and Teacher Name (TCH) files. Does not reference the Master Schedule (MST) file. The sheets are printed at eight (8) lines per inch.

----------------------------------------------

Used to read the NCS scanner sheets printed by PRG42, after they have been marked by the teachers. The program uses an NCS model 3000 full page scanner to read the marked sheets. The scanner should be on-line, with the READY and CD lights on and .C appearing in the display window.

---------------------------------------------------

Used to post each student's absence totals for each period from the Period Attendance (ATP) file to the Progress Reporting (PRG) file. To post absences from a Daily Attendance (ATD) file, use PRG61. The starting date is the first day of the current semester, as recorded in your ATP file by ATP99. The ending date is the current date on your computer when PRG60 is run. If you want to use a different cutoff date, use the DATE command to change the current date on your computer.

-----------------------------------------------------

Used to post absences for each student from the Daily Attendance (ATD) file to classes for a specified period in the Progress Reporting (PRG) file. Similar to PRG60, which posts period absence totals from the Period Attendance (ATP) file. Allows you to select the class period to which absence totals will be posted, and enter the first and last weeks of the period over which to add absences. Scans the Daily Attendance file, adds up the absences during the specified date range, and updates the Progress Reporting file, placing absence totals into any class which meets during the period specified.

------------------------------------------------------

Used to post course absence totals for each student to the Progress Reporting (PRG) file. You must maintain a Period Attendance (ATP) file and a Course Attendance (CAR) file to use this program. Reads each student's period and course attendance records and updates his progress record with the total absences for each course. The starting date is the first day of the current semester, as recorded in your ATP file. The ending date is the current date on your computer. Uses the OTHER REPORTS field in the ATR file to decide which absence codes of the defined types to include in the totals.

---------------------------------------------------

Used to display and update each student's progress reporting record, which is used to print deficiency notices and other progress reports. Normally progress marking sheets are printed for each teacher to use for reporting progress marks and comments. These sheets are scanned, and the Progress Reporting file updated with each student's marks. Verification sheets are printed and distributed to the teachers so they can correct any errors in the marks entered for their students. Then this program is used to make corrections, or to enter marks for additional courses a student has taken.

---------------------------------------

Used to create an index to the Progress Reporting (PRG) file, so records can be located quickly by student number. The index is normally created when the progress file is first created by PRG00. However, if you lose your progress file index, or suspect it is invalid, you can create a new index using this program. No one else should be accessing the PRG file while this program is being run.

------------------------------------------------------

Used to create a new Grade Reporting (GRD) file and index for each reporting period. You may enter the quarter or reporting period with the program name, or let the program ask you for it. The reporting period determines which classes will be included in the Grade Reporting and Sheet files. Valid entries are 1 or 2 for first semester, 3 or 4 for second semester. Or you may use 5 to include all classes regardless of semester. Normally you will want to include only classes which meet during the current semester. If LOC switch K is greater than zero, the program will ask for the track for which to create a GRD file. If a Grade Reporting file for the same reporting period already exists, the program will display a warning message and wait for your response.

--------------------------------------------------------

Used to create a Grade Reporting Sheet (SHT) file from which Scantron scanner sheets may be printed for the current grade reporting cycle. You should have a new Grade Reporting (GRD) file before running this program. If you want current absence totals for each student to be printed on the sheets, run GRD60, GRD61 or GRD62 to place the period attendance (ATP), daily attendance (ATD) or course attendance (CAR) totals in to the grade reporting (GRD) records. The program will not create sheets for classes or which the MST status tags were corrected after GRD00 was run. The correct way to add sheets to the existing files is to use GRD16. Do not rerun this program if classes have been added to or dropped from the Grade Reporting (GRD) file in GRDCRT or GRDSHT.

------------------------------------------------------------

Used to print Scantron mark input sheets from the Sheet (SHT) file created by GRD01. References the Student Master (STU), Course Title (CRS), and Teacher Name (TCH) files. Does not reference the Master Schedule (MST) file. Uses Scantron form 3000. Because printer line-up on this form is CRITICAL, the program has a special printer line-up routine at the start, so you can align the printer before it starts printing sheets. You can print all new sheets, restart at a specific sheet number, or print all the sheets for a given teacher.

-------------------------------------------------------

Used to read the scanner sheets printed by GRD02, after they have been marked by the teachers. Uses a Scantron scanner to read the marked sheets. On a half page scanner, the forms must be passed through the scanner twice, once on the left side and once on the right. NOTE: You may not need to separate the left side of the form, which contains student numbers and names, from the right side. Try folding the left side under, and feeding the sheets through the scanner this way.

---------------------------------------------------------------

This program prints grade reports (report cards) for students using special datamailer forms. The report cards are printed alphabetically by student, or may be printed for selected students only. If you wish to hand out report cards during homeroom or some selected class period, run GRD14 instead of GRD04. The program will request several pieces of information, including a postal permit number, optional city, and an address correction notice. You must respond to each message. There are options for sorting the report cards and printing special messages. There is a line-up routine to help you align the forms. When finished, the program will display the total number of forms printed. This total will not include any which were printed before the printer was lined up. It should be the actual number of forms to be mailed.

-----------------------------------------------

Used to print a listing of each student's marks for the current grade reporting cycle. Listing may be printed alphabetically by student name, by grade level, or for one selected grade. The report prints on wide paper. For each student, it shows student name, grade, sex, student number, and each of the student's classes. For each class, the report shows the class period, course title, teacher name, academic mark, citizenship mark, work habits mark, total absences, three comment codes, credit attempted and credit completed. Below the individual courses are listed the total credit attempted and credit completed, total GPA and academic GPA.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to print a report by teacher number of the marks given to every student in each class. Normally this report is distributed to the teachers for verification of the marks they gave their students. Prints on narrow paper. Uses the Sheet (SHT) file to sort the output into classes, and prints each class on a separate page. The report should be distributed to the teachers for verification, corrections should be collected, and errors should be corrected using GRDCRT or GRDSHT, before report cards and other reports are printed.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to print student grades on special transcript labels which may be placed on the students' permanent record cards. The label has a slit between the top and bottom parts. Only the bottom part is placed on the permanent record card. The labels are printed four across, at eight lines per inch. There are options for sorting and for selecting by grade level.

-------------------------------------------------

Used to print a record of students who received a selected academic mark a specified number of times in the current grading period. Allows you to choose how many of each mark a student must receive in order to be included. You may select a required number for any or all of the following academic marks: A, B, C, D, F, I, and NM. You may choose whether to list all classes for each included student, or only classes in which he received one of the selected marks. The report includes students who meet any condition chosen, regardless of other marks. Prints on wide paper.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to print a class rank listing for the current grading period, which may be used to generate an honor roll based on grade point average. Prints in descending grade level order. Within each grade level, students are listed in class rank order. Prints on narrow paper, and contains student name, sex, grade, total credit attempted, total credit completed, total GPA, academic GPA, and class rank based on academic GPA. Students with identical GPA's are given the same rank. Marks of A, B, C, D and F are the only marks included in calculation of GPA. Marks of A, B, C, D, P and CR receive credit attempted and completed. A mark of F receives credits attempted only. Marks of NC, I, W and NM receive no credits attempted or completed.

------------------------------------------------------

Prints a mark distribution report in order by teacher, course and period. Shows totals, percentages, and GPA's of all academic marks given for each class, for each teacher, and for the entire school. Prints on wide paper. At the end of each teacher's classes, totals, percentages and grade point average for all classes for that teacher are printed. At the end of the report, totals, percentages, and grade point average are printed for the entire school.

--------------------------------------------------

Used to print a mark distribution report in order by course, teacher and period. Shows totals, percentages, and GPA's of all academic marks given for each class, for each course, and for the entire school. Prints on wide paper.

----------------------------------------------------

Used at the end of each semester to copy semester grades from the Grade Reporting (GRD) file to the Course History (HIS) file. Transfers course number, academic mark, and credit from the grade file, and assigns the current year to the entries. The term to be assigned is entered by the operator. Enter 1 for fall term, 2 for spring term, or 3 for summer session. When done the program reminds you to run HIS03 next. HIS03 recomputes cumulative credits and GPA's for all students, and places the updated data in the Student Master (STU) file. Then run STU04 to recompute class ranks based on the new GPA's. DO NOT RUN MORE THAN ONCE FOR THE SAME GRADES.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to recompute credit attempted, credit completed, and total, academic, and upper grade (10-12) grade point averages in the Student Master (STU) file. The program scans each student's Grade Reporting (GRD) record, computes the above figures based on the current grading period only, and updates the student file. If you also want to recompute class ranks based on the grade reporting GPA's, run STU04 after this program is finished. Grade points are multiplied by the credit value in order to produce a GPA. A, B, C, D and F are the only marks included in the calculation of GPA. When you have finished printing any reports needed from these GPA's, run HIS03 to recompute cumulative credits and GPA's from the Course History (HIS) file, and STU04 to recompute class ranks.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print grade report forms (report cards) in order by teacher number for a selected class period. This allows you to hand out report cards during homeroom, for example. To print the forms in alphabetical order by student, use GRD04. Unlike GRD04, this program does not print permit and address information. Instead it prints teacher name and period for distribution. But you may use the datamailers so the marks are not visible from the outside. Or use the two copy form. You will be asked to enter several pieces of information. You must respond to each message. You will be given an opportunity to align the forms.

------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an alphabetical listing of students who have taken courses which you designate as athletics and show their grade point averages for the current grading period. This report is designed for use in schools where athletes are required to maintain a certain grade point average. The report produces is similar to the honor roll generated by GRD09, but is printed alphabetically rather than by class rank. It is designed to fit on narrow paper. If you do not enter course numbers with the program name, the program will ask for a list of athletics course numbers. Up to twelve course numbers can be entered.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to add to the Grade Reporting (GRD) and Sheet (SHT) files any class not included in your existing GRD and SHT files. This is helpful when, after printing your grade marking sheets, you discover one or more classes were not included. Usually this is because they were tagged incorrectly in the Master Schedule (MST) file. You may enter up to fifty (50) section numbers of classes to be added to the grade and sheet files. Do not enter any section number which is already included in the grade (GRD) file, since the students in that class will then have duplicate courses in their records. NOTE: This program is intended for adding sheets to the Sheet (SHT) file created by GRD01, from which sheets are printed with GRD02. If you use GRD41 to create the SHT file and GRD42 to print the sheets, use GRD46 to add classes to the GRD and SHT files.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an alphabetical listing showing each student's eligibility or non-eligibility for membership in the California Scholarship Federation (CSF) based on the current grading period. The report is printed alphabetically by student name or by grade, and prints on wide paper. This report is intended as an advisory to determine student eligibility for CSF membership. It does not disqualify students on the basis of citizenship, because there are no specific citizenship requirements set by CSF, but it prints citizenship marks so the counselor can make that determination.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a list of students who are not eligible for extracurricular activities. Students are ineligible for extracurricular activities if their current grades reflect more than one F mark, less than 25 credits attempted, less than 20 credits completed, or less than a 2.0 total grade point average. The report is designed to fit on narrow paper. Grade points are multiplied by the credit value in order to produce a GPA. There are options for sorting and for selecting one grade only.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to copy selected courses from the first or third quarter Grade Reporting (GRD) file into the current semester Grade Reporting file. This would be done after the grades for the current reporting period have been entered into the semester grade file, just before printing report cards. Then the quarter classes will appear on the semester report card, and will be transferred to the Course History (HIS) file with the semester grades. You must have a copy of the Grade Reporting (GRD) file from the quarter reporting cycle. This file must be renamed with an extension of .OLD. BE CAREFUL NOT TO WIPE OUT YOUR SEMESTER GRADE FILE.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to read the individual Mark Input Sheets, and update the Grade Reporting (GRD) file, Course History (HIS) file, or both files. This form uses four digit course numbers. If you do not use four digit course numbers, you cannot use this program. The program uses a Scantron full page or half page scanner. It should be connected and running before this program is started. The program will ask which files you want to update. You must respond with one of the displayed options.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create a Grade Reporting Sheet (SHT) file from which NCS scanner sheets may be printed for the current grade reporting cycle. You should have a new Grade Reporting (GRD) file before running this program. The GRD file is created by GRD00. If you want the current total period absences for each student to be printed on the scan sheets, run GRD20, GRD21 or GRD22 before running this program. This program will not create sheets for classes for which the MST status tags were corrected after GRD00 was run. The correct way to add sheets to the existing files is to use GRD16. You can rerun this program and recreate the Sheet file, as long as classes have not been added to or dropped from the Grade Reporting (GRD) file in GRDCRT or GRDSHT, and the GRD file has not been recreated by GRD00.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print NCS grade reporting scanner sheets from the Sheet (SHT) file created by GRD41. It references the Student Master (STU), Course Title (CRS), and Teacher Name (TCH) files. It does not reference the Master Schedule (MST) file. The sheets are printed at eight (8) lines per inch. Since most printer output is at six lines per inch, the printer must be prepared before the program is started. The program uses SASI form number 75699. The alignment of the forms is critical, so there is a special line-up routine. There are options for sorting and selecting by grade level.

------------------------------------------------

This program is used to read the NCS scanner sheets printed by GRD42, after they have been marked by the teachers. The program uses an NCS model 3000 full page scanner to read the marked sheets. The scanner should be turned on and ready to read sheets, with the READY and CD lights on and .C appearing in the display window before you start this program. After all the sheets have been scanned, you should print a verification listing for the teachers using GRD06. Allow the teachers time to make corrections. Then use GRDCRT or GRDSHT to enter the corrections before you print the grade reports.

------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to add to the Grade Reporting (GRD) and NCS Sheet (SHT) files any class not included in your existing GRD and SHT files. This is helpful when, after printing your grade marking sheets, you discover one or more classes were not included. Usually this is because they were tagged incorrectly in the Master Schedule (MST) file. You may enter up to fifty section numbers of classes to be added to the grade and sheet files. Do not enter any section number which is already included in the grade file, since the students in that class will then have duplicate courses in their records. NOTE: This program is intended for adding sheets to the Sheet (SHT) file created by GRD41, from which sheets are printed with GRD42. If you use GRD01 to create the SHT file, and GRD02 to print the sheets, use GRD16 to add classes to the GRD and SHT files.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used at the end of each semester to copy the semester grades from the Grade Reporting (GRD) file to the Course History (HIS) file for one attendance track at a time. It is similar to GRD12, but is intended for multi-track schools. It transfers course number, academic mark, and credit from the grade file, and assigns the current year to the entries. The term to be assigned is entered by the operator. Terms can be 1 for fall, 2 for spring, or 3 for summer. You must reply with Y when the program asks if it is all right to proceed, or the program will be aborted. If you do not want o transfer marks for all grade levels to the history file, type GRADE or GRD and the grade or range of grades for which marks are to be transferred, after the program name. When finished, the program will remind you to run HIS03 to recompute cumulative credits and GPA's for all students.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to post each student's absence totals for each period from the Period Attendance (ATP) file to the Grade Reporting (GRD) file. Your school must keep period absences in order to use this program. To post absences from a Daily Attendance (ATD) file, use GRD61. The program scans the Period Attendance (ATP) file, and for each student with any period absences, finds his record in the Grade Reporting (GRD) file and posts his total absences for each period. Then these absences will appear on the grade reports. The starting date is the first day of the current semester, as recorded in your ATP file. Use ATP99 to change this date. The ending date is the current date on your computer. Use the DOS DATE command to change this date.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to post total absences for each student from the Daily Attendance (ATD) file to classes for a specified period in the Grade Reporting (GRD) file. It is similar to GRD60, which posts period absence totals from the Period Attendance (ATP) file. The program allows you to select the class period to which absence totals will be posted, and enter the first and last weeks of the period over which to add absences. Then it scans the Daily Attendance file, adds up the absences during the period specified, and updates the Grade Reporting file, placing absence totals into any class which meets during the period specified. The program will ask you to enter the period, first week and last week. You must respond to these messages. This program uses the OTHER REPORTS field in the ATR file to decide which absence codes of the defined types to include in the totals.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to post course absence totals for each student to the Grade Reporting (GRD) file. You must maintain a Period Attendance (ATP) file and a Course Attendance (CAR) file to use this program. It reads each student's period and course attendance records and updates his grade record with the total absences for each course. Then the course absences will appear on the grade reports. The starting date is the first day of the current semester as records in your ATP file. Use ATP99 to change this date. The ending date is the current date on your computer. Use the DOS DATE command to change this date. This program uses the OTHER REPORTS field in the ATR file to decide which absence codes of the defined types to include in the totals.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display and update each student's grade reporting record. The Grade Reporting file is used to print report cards and other reports for grade reporting. It is created each quarter, or whenever new report cards are to be prepared. Normally grade marking sheets are printed for each teacher to use to report marks and comments. The sheets are scanned, and the Grade Reporting file is updated with each student's marks. Verification sheets are printed and distributed to the teachers so they can correct any error in the marks entered for their students. Then GRDCRT is used to make corrections or enter additional marks for additional courses a student has taken.

------------------------------------------

This program is used to create an index to the Grade Reporting (GRD) file so students can be located quickly by student number. Normally the index is created by GRD00 when the grade file is first created. However, if you lose your grade file index, or suspect it is invalid, you can recreate the index using this program. NOTE: No one else should be accessing the GRD file while this program is being run.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display and update grade data by class, using the Sheet (SHT) file produced by GRD01 or GRD41. You can use it to add a student to a sheet, delete him from a sheet, or correct marks in any class. This program may be used to check the scanner input from GRD03 or GRD43, or to input marks by sheet if the scanner breaks down. Or if you do not have scanner, you can run GRD01 to create a sheet file, and input the marks by class from teacher roll sheets or other forms. The program displays one sheet record at a time, showing sheet number, teacher number and name, class period, and course number and title.

-------------------------------------------------

This program is used to set up and maintain the Report Definition (RPD) file. This file contains the user defined data and program options used by every program in the RPT system. It contains one record, which is displayed on two forms. If you do not already have an RPD file the program will create a blank one. This is named RPD---.DAT, with the year and school code completing the file name.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create a new Grade Reporting (RPT) file, and to update the existing file at the start of each reporting period. An index is also created so records can be located by student number. It creates or updates one or more records for each active student, and includes each class in the student's current schedule. Classes tagged with an X or Z in the status field of the master schedule are not updated in the Grade Reporting file. The program will also bypass classes with semester codes that are not defined for this reporting period in the Report Description (RPD) file. If no RPT file exists for the current year, this program will create a new one. If the file does exist, the program will add to or update in the RPT file any valid classes found in each student's current class schedule.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create a file from which scanner sheets may be printed for the current grade reporting cycle. The Sheet file is created in order by teacher number, class period, and course number. You should have a newly created Grade Reporting (RPT) file before running this program. The RPT file is created by RPT00. If you want period absence totals printed on the sheets, run RPT20, RPT21 or RPT22 before running this program. If an existing sheet file is found, the program will display a warning message and wait for your response. It is possible to re-run RPT01 and recreate the Sheet (SHT) file, as long as the Grade Reporting file was not recreated or updated by RPT00, and courses have not been added to or deleted for any student.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print mark input sheets for grade reporting. It uses the Sheet file created by RPT01. It also references the Student Master (STU), Course Title (CRS) and Teacher Name (TCH) files. It does not reference the Master Schedule (MST) file. If you use NCS form 75699, you will need to set your printer to 8 lines per inch before starting this program. Because printer line-up is critical, the program has a special printer line-up routine at the start. There are options for printing sheets for one teacher, or restarting at a specified teacher number.

-------------------------------------------------

This program is used to read Scantron scanner sheets printed by RPT02 after they have been marked by the teachers. Use RPT23 to scan NCS sheets. On wide forms, you may need to separate the left side of the form, with student names, from the right side. First try folding the left side under, and feeding the sheets through the scanner this way. If the sheets do not scan properly, you will have to separate the sides. The program refers to the SCANNER FORM option in RPDCRT to determine which form is being read. If you have defined a non-Scantron form, RPT03 will abort with an error message.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program prints grade reports (report cards) for students using special datamailers or other forms as defined in the REPORT CARD option in the Report Description (RPD) file. The report cards may be printed alphabetically for all students, by zip code, or for selected students only. If your school wants to hand out the forms during home room, or some other class period, or print them by grade level, use RPT14 instead of this program. If you are using form RPT-3, you will need to set your printer to 8 lines per inch and 12 characters per inch horizontal spacing before starting this program. There are sorting, selection and restart options available.

------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a listing of each student's marks through the current grade reporting cycle. The listing may be printed alphabetically by student name, by grade level, or for one grade level. The report prints on wide paper, and shows, for each student, student number, name, grade, and sex on the left side. Then it lists each of the student's classes, showing class period, course title, teacher name, academic marks defined in the RPD file, citizenship, attendance totals defined in the RPD file, comment codes, credits attempted and credits completed. There are totals for each student.

--------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a report to give to teachers for verification of the marks which they gave their students. This report should be given to the teachers for mark verification, and errors corrected using RPTCRT or RPTSHT, before reports cards and other grade reports are printed. The program will print all academic marks, or only those for the current grade report period. It uses the Sheet (SHT) file to arrange the report in class order. Make sure the current SHT file is the same one used for the current reporting cycle. The report prints on wide paper. The program will display a message and wait for your response. You can also print sheets for one teacher only, and restart the printing at a given teacher number.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a transcript label for each student, showing up to four academic marks in each subject. This label may be placed on the permanent record card. The labels may be printed alphabetically by student name, by grade level, or for one grade level only. They are printed at 8 lines per inch, so the printer must be prepared before this program is started. The label contains two parts, with a slit between top and bottom. Only the lower part is placed on the permanent record card. The program will display several messages. You must respond to each one.

------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a list of students who received a selected academic mark a specified number of times for the most recent academic mark in the RPT file. It allows you to choose how many of each mark a student must have received in order to be included. You may select a required number for any or all of there academic marks: A, B, C, D, F, I, and NM. And you may list all classes for each included student, or only classes in which he received one of the selected marks. The report included students who meet any condition chosen, regardless of any other marks, and is designed to print on wide forms. The program uses the report period (1-6) for which the RPT file was last updated, and the mark definitions in the RPD file, to determine which academic mark to use for the report.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an honor roll and class rank listing for a selected grade reporting period. The listing is printed by grade level, and by class rank within each grade level. The report is identical to that produced by GRD09, and prints on narrow paper. The GPA's printed for each student may be weighted or unweighted for honors classes and plus and minus marks, depending on the setting of option switches W and M in the School Location (LOC) file. The defaults may be overridden using a Grade Point Average Definition (GPA) file created by GPACRT. The program uses the report period (1-6) for which the RPT file was last updated, and the mark definitions in the RPD file, to determine which academic mark to use to calculate GPA and class rank.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program prints a mark distribution analysis in order by teacher, course, and period. This analysis shows totals, percentages, and grade point averages of all academic marks given for a selected report period, for each class, for each teacher, and for the entire school. If your school uses numeric grades, the program will convert them to their letter grade equivalents as defined in the Report Definition (RPD) file. The report is identical to that produced by GRD10, and prints on wide paper. The program uses the report period (1-6) for which the RPT file was last updated, and the mark definitions in the RPD file, to determine which academic mark to use for the report.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program prints a mark distribution analysis in order by course, teacher and period. The report shows totals, percentages, and grade point averages of all academic marks for a selected report period, for each class, for each course, and for the entire school. If your school uses numeric grades, the program will convert them to their letter grade equivalents as defined in the Report Definition (RPD) file. The report is identical to that produced by GRD11, and prints on wide paper. The program uses the report period (1-6) for which the RPT file was last updated, and the mark definitions in the RPD file, to determine which academic mark to use for the report.

------------------------------------------------------

This program is used at the end of each semester to copy the semester grades from the Grade Reporting (RPT) file to the Course History (HIS) file. It transfers the course number, academic mark, and credit from the RPT file, and assigns the current year to the entries. The academic mark or marks to be used, and the term to be assigned to each entry, are entered by the user when the program is run. You should have a current backup of the Course History (HIS) file before running this program. No one else should be accessing the HIS file while this program is running. You can update Course History for one grade only, or selected grades.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to recompute the total credit attempted, credit completed, and total, academic, and upper grade (10-12) academic grade point averages in the Student Master (STU) file. If you want to recompute class ranks based on the grade reporting GPA's, run STU04 after this program is finished. Grade points are multiplied by credit value to produce GPA. GPA's may be weighted or unweighted for honors classes and plus and minus marks, depending on the settings of option switches W and M in the LOC file. This program is intended for temporarily recomputing credits and GPA's based on the most recent grade reporting cycle. When you have finished printing any reports needed from these GPA's, run HIS03 to recompute cumulative credits and GPA's from the Course History (HIS) file, and STU04 to recompute class ranks.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print grade reports (report cards) for students using special datamailers or other forms as defined in the REPORT CARD option in the Report Definition (RPD) file. The report cards are printed in teacher number order for a selected class period. This allows you to hand out report cards during homeroom, for example. It will also print for a selected grade level. If you want to print report cards in alphabetical order, by zip code, or for selected students only, use RPT04 instead of this program. Unlike RPT04, this program does not print permit and address information on the report cards. Instead it prints teacher name, room and period for distribution. But you may use the datamailers so the marks are not visible from the outside. If you use form RPT-3 you will need to set your printer to 8 lines per inch and 12 characters per inch before you start this program.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an alphabetical listing of students who have taken courses which you designate as athletics, and show their grade point averages for a specified grading period. This report is designed for use in schools where athletes are required to maintain a certain grade point average. The report produced is similar to the honor roll generated by RPT09, but is printed alphabetically rather than by class rank. It is designed to fit on narrow paper. The program uses the report period (1-6) for which the RPT file was last updated, and the mark definitions in the RPD file, to determine which academic mark to use for the report.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program may be used to add to the Grade Reporting (RPT) and Sheet (SHT) files any class not included in the existing files. It is helpful when, after printing mark input sheets, you discover one or more classes were not included. Usually this is because they were not tagged correctly in the Master Schedule (MST) file. You may enter up to fifty section numbers of classes to be added to the grade and sheet files. Do not enter any section number which is already included in the grade file, or the students in that class will have duplicate courses in their records. Make sure the current Sheet file is the same one used to print the existing sheets.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an alphabetical listing showing each student's eligibility or non-eligibility for membership in the California Scholarship Federation (CSF) based on a specified grading period. The program asks which mark to use in calculating CSF eligibility. If you do not enter a valid mark number (1-11), the program will abort with an error message. The report prints on wide paper. It is intended as an advisory to determine CSF eligibility. It does not disqualify students on the basis of citizenship, because no specific citizenship standards are set by CSF, but prints the citizenship marks so the counselor can make that determination.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program computes the semester and final grades in the Grade Reporting (RPT) file. It should be run only by schools keeping numeric grades. The program uses the MARK TO AVERAGE TO fields defined in RPDCRT to determine which mark numbers are average marks, an the WEIGHT fields to calculate averages. It reads each student's grade reporting record and averages the marks for which a number has been entered in order to compute semester and final marks. It will overwrite any existing marks in the semester and final mark areas, so if you want to make some of the entries by hand, be sure to run this program before making any manual changes.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to read NCS mark input scanner sheets printed by RPT02, after they have been marked by the teachers. If you use Scantron sheets, use RPT03 instead of this program. The program refers to the SCANNER FORM option in RPDCRT to determine which form is being read. If you have defined a non-NCS form (scanner form option less than 4), the program will abort with an error message.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a list of students who are not eligible for extracurricular activities. Students are ineligible for extracurricular activities if their current marks reflect more than one F mark, less than 25 credits attempted, less than 20 credits completed, or less than a 2.0 total grade point average. The report is designed to fit on narrow paper. The program uses the last academic mark defined in the RPD file for the current report period. Grade points are multiplied by the credit value in order to produce a GPA. You can print the report by grade, or select one grade only. You can also use a Query IF statement to limit the report to selected students.

---------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print student grades on special transcript labels which may be placed on the students' permanent record cards. The label has a slit between the top and bottom parts. Only the bottom part is placed on the permanent record card. The labels are printed four across, at eight lines per inch. Since most printer output is at six lines per inch, the printer must be prepared before the labels are printed. You will be asked to enter the semester code, and specify your choice of GPA's to print.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to post each student's attendance totals for each period from the Period Attendance (ATP) file to the Grade Reporting (RPT) file. Your school must keep period absences in order to use this program. To post absences from a Daily Attendance (ATD) file, use RPT61. To post course attendance totals from a Course Attendance (CAR) file, use RPT62. The starting date is the one defined in your RPD file the current reporting period, unless you have chosen the option in RPDCRT for year-to-date attendance. In that case, the starting date is the first day of the current semester, as recorded in your ATP file. To change this date, run ATP99. The ending date also is the one defined for this reporting period in RPDCRT. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, indicating a multi-track school, the program allows you to update attendance for all students or for selected tracks only.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to post attendance totals for each student from the Daily Attendance (ATD) file to classes for the current reporting period in the Grade Reporting (RPT) file. It is similar to RPT60, which posts period absence totals from the Period Attendance (ATP) file. The program allows you to select the class period to which attendance totals are to be posted. Then it reads the Daily Attendance file, adds up the absences for each student, and updates the Grade Reporting file, placing attendance totals into any class which meets during the period specified. Attendance totals are computed based on the absence definitions in RPDCRT, using the absence types defined in the ATR file. The program uses the OTHER REPORTS field in the ATR file to decide which absence codes of the defined types to include in the totals. The starting date is the one defined in your RPD file, or the first day of school in your calendar (ATC) file. The ending date is the one defined in RPDCRT for this reporting period.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to post course attendance totals for each student to the Grade Reporting (RPT) file. You must maintain a Period Attendance (ATP) file and a Course Attendance (CAR) file to use this program. The program reads each student's period and course attendance records and updates his grade record with the total attendance for each course. Then the course attendance totals will appear on the grade reports. The starting date is the one defined in the RPD file for the current reporting period, unless you choose the option in RPDCRT to calculate year-to-date total. In that case, the starting date is the first day of the current semester, as recorded in your ATP file. The ending date is defined in RPDCRT for the current reporting period. If LOC option switch K is greater than zero, indicating a multi-track school, the program allows you to update attendance for all students, or for selected tracks only.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display and update each student's grade reporting (RPT) records. The Grade Reporting (RPT) file is used to print report cards and listings for grade reporting. It is created or updated each quarter, or whenever new report cards are to be prepared. Normally mark input sheets are printed for each teacher to use in reporting marks. The sheets are processed, and the grade reporting file updated with each student's marks. Then RPTCRT may be used to make corrections or enter additional marks for additional courses.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display and update each student's grade reporting records. It shows up to eleven academic marks per class. The Grade Reporting (RPT) file is used to print report cards and listings for grade reporting. It is created or updated each quarter, or whenever new report cards are to be prepared. Normally mark input sheets are printed for each teacher to use in reporting marks. The sheets are processed, and the grade reporting file updated with each student's marks. Then this program or RPTCRT may be used to make corrections or enter additional marks for additional courses. RPTCRT displays only the first nine academic marks for each class, but displays all the information on one screen. This program uses two forms to display each student's marks. The first form shows up to eleven academic marks per class. The second form shows citizenship mark, comment codes, credit attempted, attendance information, and semester code for each course.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program creates an index to the Grade Reporting (RPT) file, so students can be located quickly by student number. This index is normally created by RPT00 when the grade file is created or updated. However, if you should lose your grade file index, or suspect it is invalid, you can recreate the index using this program. No one should be accessing the grade reporting file while this program is running.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display the students on any mark input sheet created by RPT01 and printed by RPT02, and correct the marks for each student. You cannot add or delete students from the sheet records. To add sheet records to an existing file, see RPT16. This program allows you to check the input from the scanner programs RPT03 and RPT23. It can also be used to input marks by class if the scanner breaks down, or if a few sheets are unscannable. If you do not have a scanner, you can run RPT01 to create the sheet file, and use this program to input marks from teacher roll sheets or other forms.

-----------------------------------------------

This program is used to create a blank Progress Reporting Comments (CMT) file for the current year. Once the file is created, it is updated using CMTCRT. It should be usable during the next school year as well, so instead of creating a new file for the next year, it can be copied using the DOS COPY command.

--------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display and update the Elementary Progress Reporting Comments (CMT) file.

--------------------------------------------------------

This text editor is especially designed for use with the PRO system, to create and update the text file which provides the form for progress reports. The program uses a special form which allows you to specify page and line numbers for each line of text, so you need not type in blank lines. It accepts up to five twenty-line pages of text, allowing multiple page reports.

-------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create a new Elementary Progress Reporting (PRO) file for each reporting period. The PRO file contains a record for every student who is active at the time this program is run. An index is also created so student records can be located quickly by student number.

------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print Scantron scanner sheets for elementary progress reporting. It prints a sheet for any student who has a record in the PRO file, and references the Student Master (STU) file to print student name, grade and ID number. The program uses the Course Request Input Document. Because printer line-up is critical, there is a routine at the start to allow you to align the printer. You can restart the printing at a specific student number. You can also enter a conditional IF statement to limit the program to selected students.

---------------------------------------------------

This program is used to read the scanner sheets printed by PRO01, after the comment codes have been marked by the teachers. The program uses a Scantron half page or full page scanner to read the marked sheets. When using a half page scanner, the program reads each sheet twice, once for each half of the sheet. Thus each for must be passed through the machine twice, once on the left side and once on the right. Your scanner should be turned on and ready before you start this program.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to pint elementary progress reports on narrow paper. The report may be designed to fit letterhead or custom forms, depending on the text file used. The reports will be printed in alphabetical order. You can restart at a specific student number, or sort by grade. You can print one grade only, or one teacher only, or for selected students only.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to set up and maintain the Grade Point Average Definition (GPA) file, which is used to customize calculation of GPA. The GPA file contains user defined GPA information including narrative description, low and high grade levels to be included, marks used, weighing, type and values for up to 18 academic marks, for up to 4 GPA's. It is used by the RPT programs to calculate GPA. The GPA definition file contains one record for each GPA defined. Each GPA is displayed on a separate page. If you do not already have a GPA file, this program will create one containing default GPA definitions. This file is named GPA.DAT. It is means to be used from one year to the next, so is not qualified by year and school code as are most SASI data files.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to set up and maintain the Credit Definition (CRD) file. This file contains user defined information about which academic marks can earn credit, and what percentage of the course credit is earned at each of up to six reporting periods. It is used by the RPT programs to calculate GPA and credits completed. The Credit Definition file contains one record with the information for ever term code, grade reporting period, and up to 26 academic marks. If you do not already have a CRD file, this program will create one containing default credit definitions. This file is named CRD.DAT. It is meant to be used from year to year, so is not qualified by year and school code as are more SASI programs.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to set up and maintain the Quality Point Definition (QPT) file. This file contains user defined QPA values for numeric marks from 1 to 100, or for letter grades defined by the user. It is used by the RPT programs and other programs which calculate QPA. In order to use this program, you must be defined in the Report Definition (RPD) file as using quality point average. Set the GRADE POINTS/QUALITY POINTS option in RPDCRT to 1 if you use numeric grades, or 2 if you use letter grades.

-------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display and update the College (COL) file. It allows you to display information about any college in the file, add colleges to the file, or change existing data about any college. The (COL) file is distributed with SASI, and contains several hundred major colleges and universities, and most California junior colleges. The numbering system is the one used by major test publishers, consisting of a four digit number between 0001 and 9999. If you add colleges, it is a good idea to use the test publisher numbers.

------------------------------------------

This program is used to reorganize the College (COL) file and add blank records to accommodate new colleges. It should be used whenever you have added a large number of colleges to the file, or made several name changes. If you add a lot of colleges to the file, you may receive a message that the file needs to be reorganized. No one else should be accessing the COL file while this program is running. You must run COLIDX to create a new index to the reorganized College file immediately after running this program.

----------------------------------------------

This program is used to create a new index to the College (COL) file. It must be run immediately after you run COLSRT to reorganize the College file. If you should lose your index, or suspect it is invalid, you can run this program separately to create the index. No one else should be accessing the COL file while this program is running.

----------------------------------------------

This program is used to create the Narrative Comments (NAR) file. If you do not have a narrative file from the previous school year, the program creates a blank file. If you have a narrative file from the previous year, the program copies any narrative records for continuing students from the previous year's file to the new file. No one else should be accessing the NAR file while this program is running. Immediately after running this program, you should run NARIDX to create an index to the new file.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to maintain the Narrative Comments (NAR) file, which is used to print comments at the bottom of the transcripts printed by HIS02 and HIS12. The Narrative Comments file is created by NAR00. No student will have a record in the NAR file until narrative comments are added for him using this program. Each narrative record contains three forty character lines of comments. A student may have up to three records in the file, for a total of nine lines of comments.

--------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create an index to the Narrative Comments (NAR) file. An index must be created after the narrative file is first created by NAR00. And if you lose the index, or suspect it is invalid, you can create a new index with this program. The index allow NARCRT and the transcript programs to quickly locate any existing narrative comments records for any student. No one else should be accessing the NAR file while this program is running.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create a Course History (HIS) file for the current year and school. If you are creating a history file for the first time, this program will create an empty file and index for the current school year. If you have a history file from the preceding school year, the program will create a new file and index, and copy all records for continuing students from last year's file to the new file. No one else should be accessing the Course History (HIS) file while this program is running.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to input data from student transcripts. It is intended for use as an alternative to HISCRT when you are first creating a Course History (HIS) file and need a quick method for entering history data for hundreds of students. It also is useful for entering pervious history data for transfer students. The program will display several prompts for information. Respond with the correct data to each item.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print student transcripts on narrow white paper. The data for the transcripts is provided by the Course History (HIS) file. The program allows you to print transcripts for all students in order by grade level and student name, or for one selected grade level, or for selected students.

------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to update total credit attempted, total credit completed, and total, academic, and upper grade (10-12) grade point averages in the Student Master (STU) file. The program reads each student's Course History (HIS) record, recomputes the above figures, and updates them in the student file. Normally this program is run only if extensive changes have been made to the Course History file using HISCRT, or after history data is entered using HIS01, or after grades are added to the Course History file from the Grade Reporting or Mark Reporting file.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display students who have received only marks of A, A+ or A- in all courses they have taken. It will scan the Course History (HIS) file to find students who no marks other than A, A- and A+, and display the name, grade level and total A marks of any such student found. Marks of X are ignored, as they represent credit granted for special situations. Marks of CR, NM and P also are ignored. The program will ask if you would like the report printed on the printer, in addition to being displayed on the screen.

---------------------------------------------------

This program is used when you have a student whose attendance program changes, and to whom you assign a new student number. This program changes his course history records to the new student number, so you will not have to re-enter all his history data. Be very careful to enter the correct student numbers for this program. If you enter a wrong number, you could give a student the wrong history data. In order to correct such an error, you would have to know exactly what numbers were entered. You should check the results by running HISCRT to display the student's history records using the new student number.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print transcript labels from the Course History (HIS) file. It uses four across transcript labels. The labels printed are the same as those printed by GRD07 from the Grade Reporting (GRD) file. You might want to print labels from the history file when you need a set of labels but no longer have the grade file for that term. The labels are printed at eight lines per inch. Since most printer output is at six lines per inch, the printer must be prepared before starting this program. You will be asked to enter the term and year to print.

---------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a report of students who have repeated or are repeating courses. It compares each student's current class schedule in the Student Master (STU) file to his completed courses stored in the Course History (HIS) file. It adds the credits completed and in progress for this course, and compares this total to the maximum credits allowed for this course, as stored in the Course Title (CRS) file. If the credit total for a course exceeds the maximum for that course, the student will be included in the report. If no number is stored in the maximum credits field for this course in the CRS file, the course is assumed to have unlimited credit allowed.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to delete the history records of all ninth grade students. As incoming ninth grade students no longer need any course history from seventh and eight grades, you can run this program to wipe out the history records of any students who are going to be ninth graders next year. Normally you would run this program after creating the history file for the coming year, but before the year actually starts. It must be run before any ninth grade history, including summer school, is entered for ninth grade students. Make sure you are logged in to the year for which you wish to drop ninth grade records before you run this program. After it has finished, you should run HISIDX to create a new index to the file, as your old index is no longer valid.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print student transcripts on special transcript forms. It is similar to HIS02, which does not require special forms. If you do not have the forms, you should use HIS02. You may customize the printed output of this program to fit your school's needs. TDFCRT is used to maintain the Transcript Definition (TDF) file, which contains your school's unique comments and other data printed on the form. You should be familiar with TDFCRT before using this program. The transcripts are printed at eight lines per inch. Since most printer output is at six lines per inch, the printer must be prepared before starting this program.

---------------------------------------------------

This program is used to change all entries of a selected course number in the Course History (HIS) file to a new course number. Use it if you have a course number in the history file which is invalid, or should be another course number. As with any mass change program, you should have a current backup of the Course History (HIS) file before running this program. You cannot change to an invalid course number.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to change all entries of many or all course numbers in the Course History (HIS) file to a new numbers. To make the changes, the program uses a text file containing the old and new course numbers. To change one course or a few courses to new numbers, use HIS13. Make sure you have a backup of the HIS file before running this program. You must create a text file called HIS14.TXT before the program is run. This file must contain a line for each course number to be changed. Each line must contain the old course number, a space, and the new course number.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This program is designed for use by continuation schools to update the entering school credit range for each student in the Student Master (STU) file. This credit range is used by STU71 to print the totals used to complete the Part II-E Entering Age and Credit for the Continuation Education Year-end Site Report. This program would normally be run during the first month of school, when the Course History (HIS) file contains only courses taken before the current school year. If you were to run the program after changes or additions had been made to the Course History file, the credit ranges assigned would be incorrect, as they would not reflect the entering school credit totals. You will be asked to enter the two character field code in the student record used for the entering school credit range. You will then be asked to enter a one character code to denote each of the five credit ranges.

---------------------------------------------------

This program is used to copy records from another school's Course History (HIS) file for students in a given grade level in your school. This might be used to copy ninth grade history records from a junior high school. Both schools must use the same course numbering system! Otherwise, the courses will have different titles after they have been transferred. You should have a current backup of your Course History (HIS) file before you begin.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to sort each student's history entries into chronological order. Normally this will be required only if you add previous data to the Course History file when it already contains current data. The program also can be used to drop one or more grade levels from the Course History file, if your school has some grade levels in the file you no longer want to keep. You should have a current backup of your history (HIS) file before you begin.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to maintain the Course History (HIS) file. The history file is used to print transcripts, compute grade point averages and class standings, and check graduation requirements. Normally this program is used to enter corrections to existing course history records, or to display student transcripts. It accesses the Student Master (STU), Course History (HIS), and Course Title (CRS) files. Each student in the student file may have records in the history file. Course entries may be added using this program, from the grade reporting system, or using HIS01 for quick entry. HIS01 is useful for initial entry of history data.

------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create a new index to the Course History (HIS) file. The index on student number is used to quickly locate any student's history record by student number. The index is normally created when the history file is created by HIS00. However, if you lose the index, or suspect it is invalid, you can create a new one using this program. You should run this program before running HIS99, and again after running HIS99. You should also run this program after running HIS11 or HIS98. These programs display a warning at the end to remind you to run this program. No one else should be accessing the Course History (HIS) file while this program is running.

------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to maintain the Transcript Definition (TDF) file, which is used to print special transcript forms with HIS12. The Transcript Definition File contains one record which is displayed on the screen when you run this program. The file is named TDF.DAT. It is meant to be used by all schools using the same computer, and remain the same from one year to the next. If you do not already have a TDF file, this program will create a blank one for you. Once you run this program, the defaults will not apply unless you delete the TDF file created.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create a new blank Graduation Requirements (REQ) file. Normally it will be run once a year to create the requirements file for the current year. Then REQCRT is used to enter the requirements. The new file will contain nineteen records, one for each of the possible subject areas, coded A through S. It may be updated using the program REQCRT. If your requirements file remains the same from one year to the next, you need not create a blank one for the new year and fill in the information. You can use the DOS COPY command to copy the preceding year's file to the new year.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to maintain the Graduation Requirements (REQ) file, which contains the graduation requirements for each grade level. This file contains up to nineteen records, one for each subject area in which credit must be earned. The records are coded A through S. These codes match the SUBJECT AREA codes in the Course Title (CRS) file, which denote courses which may be taken to meet the various requirements. Remember that the last subject area defined is assumed to be electives. Any credits not assigned elsewhere will be assigned to the last subject area which as a title. The title for the last subject area defined would usually be ELECTIVES, or GENERAL ELECTIVES if you have other types of electives.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a listing of the subject areas included in the Graduation Requirements (REQ) file. This may be used as a cross check between the requirements file and the Course Title (CRS) file, so you will know they are in agreement. The report is printed on wide paper. It includes, for each subject area, the subject code, title, credit required for each grade level, and a list of every course number and title which applies to that requirement.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a one page report for each student showing progress to date toward meeting the school's graduation requirements. The program prints essentially the same information displayed by HSGCRT, with more detail. It shows how each course the student has taken has been applied toward meeting the school's graduation requirements. The report prints on narrow paper. The courses completed are taken from the student's Course History (HIS) records as displayed in HISCRT. The courses in which he is currently enrolled are taken from his class schedule, using the course number and credit value from the Master Schedule (MST) file.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display the current high school graduation status of any student. The program checks the student's Course History (HIS) record of completed courses against the school's Graduation Requirements (REQ) file, and shows the student's current standing in each subject area. The program is unlike most SASI screen display programs in that it does not update any files. It displays data gathered from several files.

-----------------------------------------------

This program is used to create the College Entrance Test (CET) file. If you do not have a CET file from the previous school year, the program creates a blank file. If you have a CET file from the previous year, the program copies any entrance test records of continuing students from the previous year's file to the new file.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to maintain the College Entrance Test (CET) file, which is used to store the dates and scores of college entrance tests taken by each student. The College Entrance Test file is created by CET00. No student will have a record in the CET file until test dates and scores are added for him using this program. Each entrance test record contains up to three Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) test dates and scores, and up to three Test (ACT) dates and scores. Up to three test dates and scores each may be entered for the English Composition, Math Level 1, and Math Level2 Achievement tests, and test dates and scores may be entered for each of up to six additional achievement tests.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create an index to the College Entrance Test (CET) file. Normally the index is created by CET00 when the entrance test file is first created. However, if you lose the index, or suspect it is invalid, you can create a new index with this program. The index allows CETCRT and other programs to quickly locate any existing entrance test record for any student. No one else should be accessing the CET file while this program is running.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a one page report for each student showing progress to date toward meeting University Of California (UC) entrance requirements. The program prints essentially the same UC information displayed by CERCRT, with more detail. It shows how each course the student has taken has been applied toward meeting the entrance requirements, based on the university entrance codes entered for each course in CRSCRT. The report prints on wide paper. The courses completed are taken from the student's Course History (HIS) records as displayed in HISCRT. The courses in which he is currently enrolled are taken from his class schedule, using the course number and credit value from the Master Schedule (MST) file.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a one page report for each student showing progress to date toward meeting California State University (CSU) entrance requirements. The program prints essentially the same CSU information displayed by CERCRT, with more detail. It shows how each course the student has taken has been applied toward meeting the entrance requirements, based on the College entrance codes entered for each course in CRSCRT. The college entrance test dates and scores are taken from the College Entrance Test (CET) file, which is updated using CETCRT. The courses completed are taken from the student's Course History (HIS) records as displayed in HISCRT. The courses in which he is currently enrolled are taken from his class schedule, using the course number and credit value from the Master Schedule (MST) file.

--------------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display the current college entrance requirement status of any student. It checks the student's Course History (HIS) record of completed courses against the school's Course Title (CRS) file, and shows the student's current standing in each requirement area based on the University and College entrance codes entered for each course in CRSCRT.

This program is used to initially create the Competency Test Objectives (OBJ) file. It would normally be run just one time, when the tests are first established. The file will be named after the user's current school year and school code. The objectives file contains 500 records. This allows for five tests or competency areas, with up to 99 objectives each. The first record in each one hundred is used to store the test or competency title; e.g.: WRITING or READING. The remaining 99 records are for the objective titles, the number of questions pertaining to each, and the number of questions which must be answered correctly to master each objective.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an edit listing of the competency tests, the objectives within each test, the total possible answers in each objective, the total needed to pass, and a special tag. The report will usually fit on one page of narrow paper. It shows the test number and title on the left side, and the objective data on the right side.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to display and update the competency test titles, objectives titles, maximum scores, passing scores, and special codes. The Competency Test Objectives (OBJ) file must first be created by the program OBJ00. The Test Objectives (OBJ) file contains 500 records. This allows for up to five competency areas or tests. The first record in each 100 contains data about the test. This includes the test number (1-5), the test title (up to 25 characters), the total questions in the test, and the number of correct answers needed to pass the test. The remaining 99 records contain data about the objectives within that test, such as test number, objective number (01-99), objective title (24 characters), total questions pertaining to this objective, total correct answers needed to pass or master an objective, and a special tag.

----------------------------------------------------------

Normally each objective pertains to contiguous answers on the sheet. For example, objective number one might include answers one through four, objective two the next four answers, and so on. Some schools will want to set up the competency test answer sheets so the various objectives are scattered throughout the sheet. You can use this program to set up a cross reference file between objectives and answers, called the Item Distribution (ITM) file. Once this file is established, and LOC switch I is set to 1, the other programs in the CTS series will check this file to determine which test items pertain to which test objectives. When this program is first run, it will create a new ITM file.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used at the start of each competency testing cycle to create a new Competency Testing (CTS) file. This file is used for the duration of the testing cycle. Any existing CTS file will be deleted before the new file is created. You should be sure you are completely finished with the old CTS file when you create a new one. All the CTS programs except CTS01 use the CTS file, so do not run this program until you are finished producing reports from the last testing cycle. If this is the first time you have created this file, the program may ask how many competency tests you use. The number may be from 1 to 5, and is the number of competency test result codes stored in the student data records. This data is stored in the Location (LOC) file. Each student who does not have a P (for passed) for every competency test will have a CTS record created for each test which he has not passed. This program will also create an index to the CTS file.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a list of students who have not yet passed all the competency tests. It uses the codes stored in the Student Master (STU) file to find these students, and takes the test titles from the Test Objectives (OBJ) file. It does not require a Competency Testing (CTS) file. You can print one grade level only, or all grades. The program may ask for the number of tests given in your district. Enter a number between 1 and 5.

--------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print test answer sheets for students who have not yet passed the competency tests, using Scantron form 3097-C. See CTS12 for a similar program which prints the sheets in order by section number. The program will print a form for each student who does not have a code of P (for passed) in his student record, for each of the required tests. This means from one to five sheets will be printed for each student. The program will print sheets for one test at a time, so you can use a different scanner form for each test if you want. You can print one test only, one grade only, or a combination of the two.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to read the scanner forms after the students have taken the competency tests. It will read one test at a time. You must enter the test number when the program begins. Then it will read all the sheets for that test number. It will score the test, and place the results in the CTS file. It will also put a P (pass) or F (fail) in the STU file under the appropriate test number. You must load the answer key for each test before scanning any answer sheets.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print datamailer forms to the parents of students who were tested, using special forms on which the results of the competency tests are printed. Before you can run this program you must create a file containing text to be printed on the datamailer. This can be done using the SASI EDITOR program, which is documented in the General Information manual. The name of the text file must be CTS04.TXT. It should describe the purpose of the competency tests. Up to twelve lines of text can be printed.

---------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a one page analysis of each student's performance on each of the tests taken. This analysis shows the test at the top of the page, and the objectives within the test down the left side of the page. Next to each objective, it shows the total number of questions on the test pertaining to that objective, and the number of questions which had to be passed in order to master that objective. Next it shows the number the student actually got correct, and either MASTERED or NOT MASTERED for each objective. At the bottom of the report is shows the student's total score, and whether or not he passed the competency test.

-------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print competency testing results on 3-across adhesive labels, 1 inch high by 3-1/2 inches wide. The labels are printed alphabetically by student name. You can print them by grade level, for a selected grade or all grades. The program also includes a forms alignment routine to assist you in lining up the labels. Labels will be printed only for students who were tagged as needing to pass one or more of the competency tests by the program CTS00.

----------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an item analysis of each of the tests taken during the current testing cycle. The item analysis shows how many students answered A, B, C, D, E, or no answer, to each of the questions on each test. Also shown is the percentage of students who answered each way, and the total number of students tested.

----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a report showing how each student performed on each objective in each test. The report shows student name down the left side of the page, with grade level and number of correct responses for each objective within the test. It also shows the total number of objectives passed, and overall score. At the end of each test, the report shows the total students who pass each objective, and the percentage who passed. It also shows the total students tested, the number and percentage who passed, and the number and percentage who did not pass.

-----------------------------------------------------

This is an alternative program to CTS02, which prints scanner sheets in alphabetical order. This program will sort the scanner sheets into order by section number. You are asked to enter a list of section numbers. Then students in those sections are sorted in section number order before printing. Any other students who require this test will be printed first. You can enter up to 20 section numbers on one line. The program will then allow you to enter another 20 on the second line, and so on. The program will only print students who have not yet passed the specified test.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create and update the Test Control (CON) file for each test. This file contains data about the test, such as the test name, the name of each part of the test, total questions in each part, etc. This program is the first one you must run when your district decides to score a new test, unless you obtain a CON file from another school district. Each different test must have a Test Control file which is named after the test, level and form. The file name must be six characters long, with four characters for the test name, one for the level, and one for the form. For example, the STBS test for level 1 and form A would be named STBS1A. If the test name is only three characters, put in a dash for the fourth character; e.g.: BAT-4T.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a listing of any norms table you have entered using NORCRT. It should always be run after entering a new norms table or updating an existing table, to double check the conversions. The program will ask for the TEST-ID, which is the six character name for the test; e.g.: STBS1A. Next it will ask for the test type code. This is the two letter code designating which table you want listed. The valid codes are RS (raw score to standard score), RG (raw score to grade equivalent), RP (raw score to percentile), SG (scale score to grade equivalent), SP (scale score to percentile), SC (scale score to curve equivalent) and GP (grade equivalent to percentile). If you enter a percentile or curve equivalent code, the program asks for the grade level.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to input and update the tables used to convert raw scores to converted scores. After you have created the Test Control (CON) file for a given test, the next step is to enter the norms tables for that test, unless you can obtain them from another school. This program is used to create new Norms Table (NOR) files, and input the conversion tables. Each Norms Table file is named after the test, level and form, type of conversion, grade level and month. For example, the following files might be created for the STBS test, level 1, form A: S1ARS000.NOR, S1ASG000.NOR, S1ASP043.NOR and S1ASC043.NOR. Each level, form, score type and grade level must have its own Norms Table file.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a facsimile of each side of the answer sheet(s) for any test defined using the DEFCRT program. The listing can then be held up to the light over the actual scanner sheet, and the definition checked for accuracy. For a similar program which prints a listing for a sheet defined in NCSCRT, see NCS01. The listing is designed to fit on narrow paper. The printer should be adjusted so the printing will start at the very top of the form, since it uses all 66 possible lines of print. It is extremely important that each answer sheet be defined correctly, since all the testing output depends on it. If the output of this program does not reflect correctly the format of the actual scanner sheet, use DEFCRT to correct the form definition for this test.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create and maintain a Scanner Form Definition (SCN) file for each Scantron test sheet used within the test scoring system. The answer sheets used with the test scoring package are designed to fit certain standards so they can be scored auto- matically. The SCN file contains the location on the sheet of each test answer position. For a similar program used to create and maintain an NCS Scanner Form Definition (NCS) file, see NCSCRT. The SCN file is named after the test, level and form. The scanner forms may contain up to 64 lines or rows of answers vertically, and up to 24 columns across.

------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a facsimile of each side of the answer sheet for any test defined using NCSCRT. The listing can then be held up to the light over the actual scanner sheet, and the definition checked for accuracy. For a similar program which prints a listing for a sheet defined in DEFCRT, see DEF01. The listing is designed to fit on narrow paper. The printer should be adjusted so the printing will start at the very top of the form, since it uses all 66 possible lines of print. For scanner sheets printed at 8 lines per inch, 88 print lines are used. It is extremely important that each answer sheet be defined correctly, since all the testing output depends upon it. If the listing printed by this program does not reflect correctly the format of the actual scanner sheet, use NCSCRT to correct the scanner form definition for this test.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create and maintain a Scanner Form Definition (NCS) file for each NCS test sheet used within the test scoring system. The answer sheets used with the test scoring package are designed to fit certain standards so they can be scored automatically. The NCS file contains the location on the sheet of each test answer position. For a similar program used to create and maintain an Scantron Scanner Form Definition (SCN) file, see DEFCRT. The scanner forms may contain up to 88 lines or rows of answers vertically, and up to 47 columns across. Each sheet will contain an area for the school code and student number to be bubbled.

-------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create a new Test Scoring file at the beginning of the school year. This file is kept all year. Each time you score a new test, the scores are added to the current file. If you have a Test Scoring file last year, the program will ask if you want to copy it to this year's file. Normally you will want to do so. The Test Scoring file and its associated index will be named according to the school code and current year. If you ever need to rebuild the index to the file, use the program TSTIDX. You should be sure you have a provision for backing up the Test Scoring (TST) file after it has been updated.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print the headings on Scantron test answer sheets for students who will be taking a standardized test. This program does not use the Test Scoring (TST) file. It uses the Student Master (STU), Teacher (TCH), Course Title (CRS, and Master Schedule (MST) files. The sheets are printed in alphabetical order, by teacher number for elementary schools, or in section number order by a specific subject area for secondary schools. The program will ask for the grades to be printed. Enter a range of grades (e.g.: 09-10), typing each grade as a two digit number. To print one grade only, enter that grade as both the low and high grade (e.g.: 09-09).

---------------------------------------------------------

This program reads the test answer sheets printed by TST01, scores them against an answer key which you provide, and places the raw scores in the Test Scoring (TST) file. It also keeps the actual responses to each question in a Test Scoring Response (RES) file. First you must mark an answer key with the correct responses to the test questions. Be very careful when marking the answer key, since the students' test scores depend on it. This will be the first sheet read by the program.

---------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to convert the raw scores in the Test Scoring file to standard or scale, grade equivalent, percentile, and curve equivalent scores. The program first asks for the TEST-ID, if not the same as the last test processed. This is the six character test, level and form which identifies the test. It then asks for the testing date of the records to be processed, if not the same as the last test processed. Enter the test date as month and year; e.g.: 09/92. It then reads the Test Control (CON) file for this test, and converts the raw scores for each student who took that test.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a report of the students' test results. The report will list each student in the Test Scoring (TST) file who took the test being processed. The report is printed in order by grade, teacher number, section number if any, and student name. Each test part will be printed across the top of the page. The program will ask for the TEST-ID and testing date. For secondary schools, it will also ask for a subject area code to be used in sorting the output report.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is similar to TST04, but prints a summary listing of the totals by class and school for one grade level. It will print the report for the school which the user is currently accessing. To print the report for more than one school, set your school code to zero (DBSCHL 00), and the program will ask for a list of schools to be printed. The Student Master (STU), Test Scoring (TST), Teacher name (TCH), and the Master Schedule (MST) file for secondary schools, must be present for each school printed.

------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print test results on special adhesive labels. The program uses ABP form SASI 10775-1, which is eight inches wide and one inch high, and can accommodate up to fifteen test parts. These labels have vertical lines separating each part score. They may be printed at either six or eight lines per inch vertical spacing. Up to three types of scores may be printed at six lines per inch, and up to five score types at eight lines per inch. If you specify over three score types, be sure you have set up your printer for eight lines per inch spacing.

----------------------------------------------------------

This program prints a one page summary of testing results for use by the school or district administration. The report lists each of up to seventeen parts of the test across the top of the page. Down the page it shows the total students who took each part, their mean scores, standard deviations, and quartile scores. Each score breakdown includes raw score, standard score, grade equivalent, percentile and curve equivalent. The report is normally printed for the school which the user is currently accessing. If you want to combine test results for two or more schools, set your school code to zero (DBSCHL 00), and the program will ask for a list of school codes to be included. The student and testing files for each school must be available.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print student test results on special profile cards. It uses special two-ply forms, ABP form SASI 0082. These forms must be printed at eight (8) lines per inch vertical spacing. Be sure to switch your printer to 8 LPI before you start this program. The program will ask for the TEST-ID and testing date, if not the same as the last ones processed. Normally the grade equivalent score is printed on the cards. The program will ask for the test score to be printed, if not the grade equivalent score. The percentile score is shown by printing asterisks across the card. There is an alignment routine to help you align the forms in the printer.

--------------------------------------------------------

This program prints the same report as TST04, except the results are printed in order by a selected score. For example, you could print the results in order by each student's score for total reading. The report is sorted first by grade level. For an elementary school, the report also will be sorted by teacher. The program will ask for the TEST-ID and testing date, if not the same as the last test processed. It will also ask for a list of scores to be printed, if not the standard set of scores (RS, SS, GE, PC, CE). Then it will ask for the part number (1-17) on which to sort the results. This test part is displayed on the CONCRT screen.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to change the section number stored in each student's test record to his current class for a selected subject area. Several test scoring reports are sorted by the section number in each student's test record. This program may be used to change the section number to the student's current English class, Math class, etc. You may then run any of these reports, and the output will be sorted by the section number placed in the records by this program. For elementary schools, this program will change the class number to the teacher number stored in the STU file, or to the teacher number stored in the MST file for the student's first section number.

-------------------------------------------------

This program is used to change the class number stored in each student's test record to his current counselor or teacher number. Several test scoring reports are sorted by the class number in each student's test record. If the students have changed teachers since a test was given, this program can be used to make the reports print in order by the current teacher number. Or for secondary schools, it may be used to make the reports print by counselor number. The program will ask you for the TEST-ID and testing date of the test records to be updated.

------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an analysis of the test results from two different tests for the students in your Test Scoring History file, in teacher number order for a specific subject area. This allows you to distribute a report to each English teacher, Math teacher, etc. for his students. See TST20 for a similar program which sorts by the class number stored in the testing record. You must have a Course Title (CRS) file containing subject area codes for each course number. These are one letter codes (A-Z) denoting the subject area for each course. They are also used by the HSG system to check graduation requirements.

-------------------------------------------------------

This program is used to read NCS test answer sheets after they have been defined in NCSCRT. It will score the tests against an answer key which you provide, place the raw scores in the Test Scoring (TST) file, and place the actual responses to each question in a Test Scoring Response (RES) file. This program will accommodate up to 35 2-sided sheets containing up to 70 questions per sheet. It is designed for use in scanning test answer booklets. First, you must mark an answer key with the correct responses to the test questions. Be very careful in marking the answer key, since all the students' test scores depend on it. This will be the first sheet read by the program.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an analysis of the test results from two different tests from your school's Test Scoring (TST) file. The report is printed in order by the class number stored in the test record for the post-test specified. The program will ask for the TEST-ID of the pre-test, the date it was given, and the TEST-ID of the post-test and the date it was given.

--------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a report showing the actual responses to each question on the test. It requires a Scantron scanner definition file (----.SCN). For a similar program which uses an NCS scanner definition file (----.NCS), see TST24. One or more parts of the test may be printed on each report. You are allowed to select which parts of the test are to be printed. 108 spaces are available for printing responses across the page. Each part requires four more spaces than the total number of questions in that part. You could print two fifty question parts one one report, for example. Or you could print three parts if the total questions did not exceed 96 (plus 12 equals 108).

--------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an item analysis of the test results for a test form defined in DEFCRT (Scantron definition). It uses the response file, which is updated when the sheets are read, and it contains the actual responses to each question in the test. All non-total parts of the test will be printed on the report, on a separate page for that part. For a similar program which prints an item analysis for a test form defined in NCSCRT, see TST25. The program will ask for the TEST-ID and testing date.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program is used to read NCS test answer sheets after they have been defined in NCSCRT. It will score the tests against an answer key which you provide, place the raw scores in the Test Scoring (TST) file, and place the actual responses to each question in a Test Scoring Response (RES) file. The program will accommodate up to six 2-sided sheets containing up to 400 questions per sheet. For a similar program which will handle up to 35 2-sided sheets containing up to 70 questions per sheet, see TST13. First you must mark an answer key with the correct responses to the test questions. Be very careful in marking the answer key, since all the students' rest scores depend on it. This will be the first sheet read by the program.

---------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a report showing the actual responses to each question on an NCS test. It requires an NCS scanner definition (----.NCS). For a similar program which uses a Scantron scanner definition file (----.SCN), see TST21. One or more parts of the test may be printed on each report. You are allowed to select which parts of the test are to be printed. 108 spaces are available for printing responses across the page. Each part requires four more spaces than the total number of questions in that part. You could print two fifty question parts on one report, for example. Or you could print three parts if the total questions did not exceed 96 (plus 12 equals 108). The program will ask for the TEST-ID and testing date.

--------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print an item analysis of the test results for a test form defined in NCSCRT. It uses the response file, which is updated when the sheets are read, and contains the actual responses to each question in the test. All non- total parts of the test will be printed on the report, on a separate page for each part. For a similar program which prints an item analysis test form defined in DEFCRT (Scantron), see TST22. The program will ask for the TEST-ID and testing date.

-------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a student objective analysis by class. The report is designed to be printed at eight lines per inch vertical spacing, so you should first switch your printer to 8 LPI. The program will ask for the TEST-ID and testing date.

---------------------------------------------------

This program is used to print a one page individual objectives mastery report for each student. The report prints on narrow paper. It includes test name, student name, grade level, teacher name, date printed, and date tested at the top of each page. The test part and objectives titles are printed in two columns, with total answers (TA), number needed to fully master (FM), number needed to partially master (PM), and the student's score (SC). Also printed is a code to show whether the student mastered (MST), partially mastered (PAR), or did not master (NON each objective. The program will ask for the TEST-ID and testing date.

-----------------------------------------------------

This program may be used to inquire into and update the information in the Test Scoring (TST) file. Normally the TST file would be updated by scanning the test sheets and running the conversion program, rather than by using this program. The TST records are created when the sheets are scanned and scored by TST02, TST13, or TST23. The converted scores are obtained by running the conversion program TST03. This program is generally used to inquire into the TST file, and possible to enter some raw scores manually if the scanner sheets are lost or the scanner is malfunctioning. If scores are entered or changed, they will be reconverted by this program.

------------------------------------------------------

The Test Scoring Objectives (TSO) file is used to define various objectives which students are to master for each test. This is an optional file, and is only required if you use the objectives mastery reports produced by TST31 and TST32. Otherwise, you do not need a TSO file. Each school can define its own objectives for any standardized test. In many cases the test publisher will list the various objectives of the test, and which test questions pertain to each objective. The TSO file contains up to 128 test objectives to which you can assign the various questions on the test. Each objective must pertain to one of the test parts as defined in the Test Control (CON) file using CONCRT.

------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create an index to the Test Scoring (TST) file, so any student's record may be located quickly by student number. The index is created initially by TST00, which creates the Test Scoring data file. However, if you should lose the index, or suspect it is invalid, you can run this program to create a new index. You will also need to run it periodically as you accumulate test records, to add blank records to the TST file. No one else should be accessing the TST file while this program is running.

--------------------------------------------------

This program is used to create an index to the Test Response (RES) file, so any student's record may be located quickly by student number. The index is created initially when the response file is created. However, if you should lose the index, or suspect it is invalid, you can run this program to create a new index. You will also need to run it periodically as you accumulate response records, to add blank records to the RES file. No one else should be accessing the RES file while this program is running.
