4.9.4 Exceptions with
Descriptors
If you would like to describe the type of Exception that is
being “flagged”, you can use a descriptor. As an example,
with our negative total, you may want Inter-Check to print
the following: “NEGATIVE TOTAL” following the
transaction. This is done by simply typing the
“Backslash” [\] key and the descriptor you want at the
end of the exception line (the last line of text or <, >,
or = sign).
Example 1:
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123
03=>^^^^^Total:^^^^^^^0000.00<\NEGATIVE
TOTAL
In this example using the column specific and price
point exception strategies, Inter-Check will print
“NEGATIVE TOTAL” as a descriptor after every
transaction that is less than $0.00.
Please note that when programming descriptors or extra
text lines, this order/priority must be followed:
First: The exception price point or text and
its “definitions” such as (0000.00<)
or (VOID)
Second: Any descriptors such as
(0000.00<\NEGATIVE TOTAL)
It’s important to recognize how your ICI3000P reads
certain parts of your exception line when you program
that information. The "|" character is recognized as
taking up one space on the exception text line. The ^,
<, >, or = characters are not. Any text entered after
these signs will be recognized by your Inter-Check unit,
when scanning for exceptions that are met, as being in
the position they occupy. Here’s an example:
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
01=>^^^^^0000.00<N
You might say, at first glance, that Inter-Check will need
to see the letter “N” in the 15th position to recognize
this as an exception. In truth, the ICI3000P ignores the
position of the < sign, and “slides” the N over one space
to the 14
th
position. Please keep this in mind when
programming exception text that follows a price point.
5.0 SUMMARY OF EXCEPTION
KEYBOARD DEFINITIONS:
[ENTER] Saves any changes to one line of text in
the exception text editor.
[DEL] Deletes all characters to right of the cursor.
[ESC] Exits out of the edit exception text menu
back into the exceptions main menu.
[^]Wildcard or column specific character.
[\] Descriptor symbol
[|]Price point exception indicator
[SPACE]Inserts position spaces in the editing mode.
[=]Equal to a desired numerical value in price
point exceptions.
[>]Greater than a desired numerical value in
price point exceptions.
[<]Less than a desired numerical value in
price point exceptions.
[TAB] Has same function as the right arrow-
control key. Enables you to sequence
through each character on an exception
line which saves you the hassle of
reentering existing information on an
exception line.
[~]Tilde, used in conjunction with a + or -at
the end of an exception text causes the
display to print the 2 lines prior (-) or the
2 lines after (+) the exception.
