Financial Management System Guide. Volume II.

Abstract

This document describes how the Financial Management System (FMS) and its associated Data Entry System (DES) work from a technical point of view. It is intended as an aid to system programmers who may be interested in modifying the existing system in the future. We describe the files involved in the use of FMS/DES and internal procedures that may be of use to those wishing to extend the features of the system through the creation of user utility programs. The first two sections of this document outline the structure of the FMS data base. Descriptions are given of the files that make up the data base, the basic elements (fields and records) that make up files, and special features supplementing the basic AUGMENT file system to support file and system integrity. The third section describes basic system algorithms for creation, modification, and display of the data base elements. The fourth section describes the structure of the Data Dictionary, which determines the actual format of particular data elements. The fifth section describes other data structures used by the system. The appendix lists the names of system procedures grouped by function. (Author)
