In addition to entering data into the FI-LC System manually, you can
also use PC facilities to enter your financial statement data.
Companies in a group can enter their financial statement data on a PC 
which, once validated, can be uploaded to the host FI-LC System by 
the parent company.

Data entry forms, validation rules and other control data is downloaded 
to a diskette or hard disc.


** Installation ........................................................

   ** Requirements .....................................................

      To use the data input function via PC, you must first have the
      following hardware and software available:     

      -  IBM compatible AT
      -  a hard disc
      -  1 MB main storage capacity

      -  MS/DOS operation system > release 3.1
      -  config.sys adjustment:
         files = 30
         buffers = 30

      Note: If you use DOS 6.0, EMM386, when loaded in config.sys, can        
            cause problems in the PC data entry program.             
                                                                

   ** Loading Files for PC Data Input Procedure........................

      - In DOS create a directory path, under which you want to store 
        your data input files, for example "FILC".
      - Copy the files for data input via PC from the installation 
        diskette to this directory path.


** Starting PC Data Input..............................................

      In DOS, go to the directory "FILC" and enter FILC.BAT.


** Additional Notes.....................................................

      
      1. Only 8-character item numbers are accepted by the data input           
         via PC program. During the download a check is made and if any     
         items are found in a set, item number interval, or in a data 
         entry form which have more than eight characters, the download
         program will break off with an error.
      2. Only 4-character company IDs are accepted by the data input
         via PC program.
      3. For data entry via PC you should use a validation group that
         contains only 8-character item numbers, 4-character company    
         IDs and no checks of percentages against previous year values.
