Utility Functions

Resubmit a File to DASA: This program will copy a DARTS back-up file to diskette(s) to be resubmitted to

DHS. Enter the date in which the file was originally downloaded. The date in which the file(s) were downloaded can be found through the PC Reports Option from the Main Menu. View the report associated with that date to verify the correct back-up file.

Clear Record Locks: Since DARTS provides for use on local area network (LAN) systems, record locking is provided. In the event a record cannot be accessed and the message

ARecord is locked by LAN@ is displayed, this option can be used to clear all record locks.

Update Unit/Program File: Periodically, files are e-mailed from DASA, which will update the unit/program file. The provider unit/program file contains all of the valid unit/program combinations.

Updates of this file are sent at the beginning of every fiscal year, as well as throughout the year if there are any additions or changes. After receiving a file, please update the provider unit/program file in a prompt manner!

Check the provider unit/program file by choosing

AUnit/Program File@ from the Menu Bar.
