In each case, PC Batch file will also call PRNTRPT.CMD. PRNTRPT will print the report(s) to
the preconfigured printers, create backups and append the flat file if less than 24 hours have passed
since the last end of day.
The arguments specified by the standard shift format file are the shift reference number, shift
number, POS number, date, time, datetime, initial drawer balance and drawer count. The drawer
count is the amount of cash in the drawer just prior to the final safe drop. The clerk enters the
drawer count after running the count command to close the shift when set to require final safedrop.

END THE DAY
The NEXTDAY command is used to end the day and begin a new day. The NEXTDAY command
runs the NEXT DAY command to close the current day. (Note that NEXTDAY and NEXT DAY
are not identical commands.)
When printing the end-of-day report on the receipt printer, use the POS number associated with the
receipt printer the end-of-day report will be printed on. If you are not printing the end- of-day
report on a receipt printer, enter any existing POS number (1-4).
The syntax for the NEXTDAY command is:
NEXTDAY [POS#]
Once the NEXT DAY command has begun, the LISTDAY 0 command is run in background to
wait for the NEXT DAY command to complete. The NEXT DAY command is complete when the
JOURNAL.LOG file is renamed PREVIOUS.LOG in the root directory. Immediately after the
NEXT DAY command completes, the LISTDAY 0 command moves the PREVIOUS.LOG file to
the P:REPORTS directory.
The Drop argument is either Y when the clerk is required to close the prior shift or N when the
clerk performs all safe drops prior to breaking shift.
