ASSOCIATED NOIS: ================ NYN-1198-12595 Duplicate: SBY-0501-31458 ASSOCIATED E3RS: ================ N/A PARTICIPATING TEST SITES: ========================= Fresno, CA Salisbury, NC NOIS OVERVIEW: ============== Problem: ________ The problem reported in NOIS NYN-1198-12595 and SBY-0501-31458 is that the first page of the Uniform Offense Report (ESP PRINT OFFENSE REPORT) is blank when printed. Resolution: ___________ When the print file opens, a TOF (top of form) command is executed. Then, when the program begins to print, it also executes a TOF via the HDR (header subroutine), resulting in a blank page. This patch changes the program to not do a TOF command if printing the first page. **********NOTE************* This option is very dependent on the terminal type set up at each site. This patch does not change that. If the terminal is not specified correctly at the site, other problems may be seen. For example, during testing for this patch, when using terminal type P-REMOTE TCP 10/6/UP, errors such as printing only one line on the second page occurred. But when terminal type P-REMOTE TCP 10/6/UP LM 10 was used, all went well. ROUTINE SUMMARY: ================ The following is a list of the routine(s) included in this patch. The second line of each of these routine(s) will look like: ;;1.0;POLICE & SECURITY;**[patch list]**;Mar 31, 1994 CHECK^XTSUMBLD results Routine name Before Patch After Patch Patch List ============ ============ =========== ========== ESPORP 6564583 6622157 14,17,27,36 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ========================= This patch should be loaded during non-peak hours to minimize disruption to users.
