This FOCUS
program creates a Microsoft Word data
source, which is used to generate an Admissions' letter to designated
prospects. This way, you can produce great looking letters. You know, the kind
that don't look like they came from a computer; but
everyone knows they did. Please note how you can
dynamically change the SIS field being used in the
program. That is, you can specify a list using ethnic
code, Admissions representative, etc. In addition, you
will need to set up a DECODE file to translate the major
code if you do not want to use the default DBD
translations. Finally, once you open the data source into
Microsoft Word, use "|" as the field delimiter
and "*" as the record delimiter. Hopefully,
these two characters don't appear in any of the student
data. |
