<h2><a name="top"/>Standard Text Maintenance</h2>
<p id="navline"><img decoding="async" src="https://caliach.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/arrowright-43.gif" width="9" height="10" alt="Document path" align="bottom"/> <a href="../index">Reference Contents</a> &gt; <a href="index">Standard Texts</a> &gt; Standard Text Maintenance</p>

<p>Throughout the system there are two ways of having variable length text associated with a record. For example, special sales order text that is assigned to a particular customer.</p>
<p>Text specific to just one customer can be entered in the individual text field for this customer. However, text is often common across several customers. To repetitively enter this would be tedious, very wasteful in disc space and will increase the processing necessary in accessing customer records when the texts are not needed.</p>
<p>Alternatively, text common to several file records, such as a number of customers, can be entered once in the Standard Text file and given a code. A code can be up to 4 uppercase alphanumeric characters. Each customer can then be assigned the code within the standard text code field. There is one file for all Standard Texts, however texts within it are coded into separate libraries for Engineering, Purchasing, Sales and Works use. This arrangement makes system text maintenance significantly easier.</p>
<p>Coded text can be used for the following:</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://caliach.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tip40-38.jpg" width="24" height="24" alt="Tip"/><strong> TIP:</strong> Caliach Vision uses several read-only lookup channels that can be used in creating Ad Hoc Reports. Calculated fields evaluated from a lookup() channel are the only way to show optional related data in a report. You can make use of the TXT channel for standard texts:<br />
ENG_TEXT = lookup(&#8216;TXT&#8217;,con(&#8216;E&#8217;,BOMTXE),2)<br />
PUR_TEXT = lookup(&#8216;TXT&#8217;,con(&#8216;P&#8217;,PTMTXP),2)<br />
SAL_TEXT = lookup(&#8216;TXT&#8217;,con(&#8216;S&#8217;,PTMTXS),2)<br />
WOR_TEXT = lookup(&#8216;TXT&#8217;,con(&#8216;W&#8217;,PTMTXW),2)<br />
The &#8216;,2&#8217; final lookup() parameter is not strictly required. The con() construction and the use of single-quotes are important to obtain the correct text identifying code. In the examples, the BOMTXE parameter could be replaced with any field that relates to a standard text, the type of text being determined by the E, P, S or W.</p>
<h4>Maintenance</h4>
<p>You can enter the text maintenance window by selecting one of the Masters &#8212; Standard Texts menu functions. The same window is used for all text types.</p>
<p>You can change to an alternative text library by selecting the appropriate menu function. Use the buttons provided for maintenance functions. Three print options are available.</p>

Because standard text codes are not necessarily indexed, complete files have to be scanned, which can take some time.

<h2>Standard Texts</h2>
<p>Throughout the system there are two ways of having variable length text associated with a record. For example, special sales order text that is assigned to a particular customer.</p>
<p>Text specific to just one customer can be entered in the individual text field for this customer. However, text is often common across several customers. To repetitively enter this would be tedious, very wasteful in disc space and will increase the processing necessary in accessing customer records when the texts are not needed.</p>
<p>Alternatively, text common to several file records, such as a number of customers, can be entered once in the Standard Text file and given a code. A code can be up to 4 uppercase alphanumeric characters. Each customer can then be assigned the code within the standard text code field. There is one file for all Standard Texts, however texts within it are coded into separate libraries for Engineering, Purchasing, Sales and Works use. This arrangement makes system text maintenance significantly easier.</p>
<p>Coded text can be used for the following:</p>
