SENTRY User’s Guide

Introduction - 1

USING THIS GUIDE

The SENTRY User's Guide is comprehensive in its descriptions of all of SENTRY's menus, data entry screens and reports. The Guide follows the same structure as the SENTRY menu system.

There are four major sections in SENTRY. These are:

1.Database Creation and Validation

2.Database Maintenance

3.Reports

4.Utilities

Additionally, there is an introductory section and a number of appendices. The introduction includes an overview of the User’s Guide, a description of conventions used throughout the SENTRY screens, installation instructions and suggestions on getting started.

Note that each menu selection has a number to its left indicating the selection number from the Main Menu. For example, the Database Maintenance Menu is preceded by the number "2", indicating that it is the second selection from the Main Menu. The User Maintenance program documentation has the section number 2.2 in it's title. This references the second program, User Maintenance, in the second section, Database Maintenance.

The Guide uses several notation conventions for the sake of easy reading and conciseness. These include:

<RETURN> This figure indicates that the return key, sometimes called NEW LINE or ENTER, should be pressed. This is one key stroke.

<ESC> This figure is used to indicate the escape key. Most keyboards have a key labeled "ESC". The use of the escape key is ALWAYS followed by <RETURN>. SENTRY uses this key to allow an abort or escape from any program. All data remains as it were prior to the aborted session. Please note that this function may be assigned to another key if desired. See Appendix 2 for details on creating new key bindings.

"" (quotes) The SENTRY User's Guide frequently uses double quotation marks to set off the characters you should enter. NEVER type the quotes!

environment uses its own naming conventions we have used the generic term “TCL” to

 

indicate the command prompt for whichever environment you are using. For UniData and
