3. Command syntax
INTRODUCTION
This document lists the syntax for the command and executable files for the standard reporting
package on the Site Controller.
All of the commands that are run from the Profit Point menu may be run from the terminal by
typing in the command without any arguments: you are then prompted to enter the necessary
information to carry out the command.
Commands that are run from other commands-such as the NEXTSHFT command running the
NEXT CLERK command-normally require the command to be entered with all of the necessary
arguments. The syntax for all commands is shown in the rest of this chapter with the command
arguments.
None of the command files accessed by the clerk or manager menus (see the Files, menus, and
reports chapter for a list of these command files) will run when the site is not configured to track
unique shifts per console.
CASH DRAWER COMMANDS
The four commands that affect the drawer are LDDRAWER, ADDRAWER, SAFEDROP, and
COUNT.
• Use the command LDDRAWER to enter the initial amount in the cash drawer at the beginning
of the shift on a POS. (This will be done automatically by the Site Controller if so configured
in SYS_PAR.)
• Use the commands ADDRAWER and SAFEDROP to reconcile a cash drawer amount when
you put money into or take money out of a cash drawer to adjust the till.
• When a final safe drop is required, use the COUNT command to enter the drawer balance and
final safe drop amount. You will be prompted for the ending drawer balance and asked to
confirm the final safe drop amount.
(Note that when running COUNT, you cannot reprint the final safe drop slip. This is because
the COUNT command creates two reports, safe drop and shift, and only the last one (the shift
report) can be reprinted.)
In addition to printing on the log printer, a slip is printed on the receipt printer when each of these
commands is run. Use the REPRINT command to print a copy of the slip if it is not automatically
printed.
The syntax for these commands is the command
followed by the POS number and dollar amount as
shown.
LDDRAWER [POS#] [$amount]
ADDRAWER [POS#] [$amount]
SAFEDROP [POS#] [$amount]
COUNT [POS#]
REPRINT [POS#] last
