How it works
T24 keeps track of all the IDs generated for each
application, so that it can generate the next one when
required. The LOCKING file keeps track of this.
q The last generated ID is obtained from LOCKING
q Incremented by 1
q Write the new ID to LOCKING
q Assign the new ID to the user
T2ITT R05 1.0
How it works
ID is F<mnemonic>.APPLICATION
Summary
q Some applications allow AUTO ID generation
q They must be mentioned in the PGM.AUTOM.ID field in the
COMPANY application
q Even though AUTO ID generation is set, the user is allowed to
form an ID as long as the validation rules are satisfied.
q To make AUTO ID generation mandatory, we must suffix the
application name with M in the COMPANY file. (e.g.:
CUSTOMER M)
q AUTO.ID.START application is used to mention the first ID to
be generated for each application
q The last ID generated is held in the LOCKING file, so thats
how T24 knows the next ID to generate.
