Special Custom Features

However flexible ProFiler is there are inevitably some applications which require special facilities. Recognising this, a linking point has been provided here to enable you to have customised programming supplied by Datafile built into your ProFiler application. This facility is also enabled when you have purchased the ProFiler Plus accessory and need to implement a Plusoption within the application.

On selection of this menu option you are prompted: Apply custom features

The normal reply to the "Apply custom features?” question is ‘No’. If using Profiler Plus features or you have been advised to set this option then select ‘Yes’.

If you reply ‘Yes’, a screen is displayed allowing for 40 text values, 40 numbers, and 40 yes/no prompts.These prompts are often necessary to inform the custom programming the various parameters that may be needed.The use of these parameters will be specified separately where implemented. For Profiler Plus you can ignore all these options.

If you are using custom features, an additional question "Custom point?” appears as part of the preamble for every menu, screen, report or other definition in User Facilities Definition of this chapter. Again, instructions on how to answer this question are supplied with your custom routines.
