These FOCEXECs will generate a master schedule that the public information office can use for official publications. The results are broken out by campus, then alphabetically by course. In the file, the break indicator between multiple sites (if this is the case) is a blank line. Once the program is ran, you can use software like WS-FTP to copy the resulting files to the PC. The processing is done in two parts. First, the appropriate course information (day or evening) is gathered and then this data is "formatted" to create a "professional" looking (one that doesn't look like it came from a computer) course schedule. Now I know the SIS system includes a program called RBA120 that does the same thing but you know how "picky" folks can get when it comes to publishing information for the public. :-) In addition, as you will see in the program code, I included only one copy of the FOCEXEC that does the "formatting" since it performs the same function irregardless of the type of courses (day or evening).
