Nope. It's not Progress code at all. Ground Control is a macro utility
that can automate mouse clicks, keyboard input, etc to speed up repetitive
windoze tasks. You open up Vantage and go to the inspection screen; then
open G.C. and run the macro. It's able to manipulate the Vantage screens
like you would with the keyboard & mouse. In this case, the operator can
just sit there and when the detail window opens, read the pending qty, type
that and [enter] and it will crank through to the next one.

You can purchase or download an evaluation at: www.acrasoft.com The older
version 2.0 that mine is compatible with is available on our files page at
yahoo.

Hey everyone!

Does anyone have a utility to clean up nonconformances in the quality module? We purchased the quality module a year or 2 ago. Unfortunately we did our testing on the live database. Aaah! Well, we have a lot of nonconformances hanging out in the module that do not apply to our data. I contacted tech support to see if they had a utility, but they didn't. Does anyone else? Preferably something that is free because we realize that we can pay custom programming to do just about anything, but we're looking at watching our cost right now.

Thanks!

We had a ton (well, a couple thousand anyway) after going from 3 to 4. 4.0
changed the logic so any scrap qty from labor entry ALWAYS created
non-conforming assemblies. Same thing you're trying to get rid of? 5.0
cured that by allowing you to enter separate non-conf' and scrap
quantities, BTW.

I wrote this Ground Control marco to automate the process as much as
possible; the operator only had to enter the quantity that displayed on
the screen.

// ProcessInspection.gc
//
// GC macro to clear out assemblies hanging in Inspection Processing.
// Operator only has to read the quantity from the screen and key in
// one entry. Enter a single Q to quit.
// Written for Vantage 4.00.904 & Ground Control 2.0.
// Wayne Cox 9/23/02
// Assumes Inspection Processing screen is open, and "start at" has
// been filled in with the desired job number.

OnError(":ErrExit")

:Start

// Sort by Job (alt-J); Process from top of browse list
ActivateWindow("Inspection Processing")
SendKeys("(%J)")
Delay(150)
// Open menu Edit -> Inspect for item at top of list
SendKeys("(%E)")
Delay(150)
SendKeys("I")
Delay(900)
//ExitMacro()

// Inspection frame now open, s.b. in Inspector combo box
// Send the first character of inspector to select
SendKeys("W")
SendKeys("{TAB}{TAB}")
// Prompt for Passed Qty; Exit if "Q" input
InputBox("Passed Qty",%Q)
IfEquals(%Q,"Q",GoTo(":Exit"))
SendKeys(%Q)
SendKeys("{TAB}{TAB}")
// Delay briefly; Send Alt-O for OK
Delay(400)
SendKeys("(%O)")

//Loop back and do it again
GoTo(":Start")

:Exit
MessageBox("QUIT Signal Detected")
ExitMacro()

:ErrExit
MessageBox("Error Routine Invoked")
ExitMacro()

Wayne,

Do I have to have the full Progress license for this macro to work?
