Procedure for Accessing RAM System by Name
(Access By Name Feature)
This software addition will allow you to search for a scheduled customer on the RAM card by entering the name or part
of the name on the Lap Pad. Depending on how the customer names were sorted alphabetically on the RAM card (First
name first or last name first), you can type the name or just the first letters of the name to find the customer to whom
you want to deliver product.
All the other Modes and Procedures in the current software will remain the same as described in this manual, except
that now there will be an extra prompt that will appear in Delivery Mode (Mode 1) as "ACCESS NAME>".
Operation
To search for a customer using this feature, do the following:
1. From delivery mode (Mode 1), press the  key to the "ACCESS NAME>" prompt.
2. Using the Alpha keys, type in the name or part of the customers name. Make sure you know
ahead of time, how the customer database has been sorted (by first name or by last name).
3. Press the ENTER key to accept. The first name or the name alphabetically higher will be
displayed including the account number and the product number to be delivered.
4. If the customer displayed is not the one you were looking for, scroll up or down the list
by pressing the arrow keys or press the STOP key to return to the "ACCESS NAME>" prompt.
5. Once you find the correct customer, press the ENTER key to accept.
6. Press the START key to make the delivery or the STOP key to initiate a new search.

Example: To make a delivery to "THOMPSON, RICHARD" and assuming the records are assembled
and sorted alphabetically by last name on the RAM card, do the following:

NET VOLUME GALLONS 0.0

PRODUCT CODE 0.
This is the first screen displayed in Mode 1. Press the  key to scroll to the next line.
ACCESS NAME>
PRODUCT CODE 0.

Type the first few letters of the customers last name and press the ENTER key.
ACCESS NAME> THOM
PRODUCT CODE 0.

The first name or the next alphabetically higher starting with the letters entered will be displayed.
THOMAS, PHIL 1235678
PRODUCT CODE 1.

If this is not the customer you were looking for, you can either press the  or
key until you find it
or press the STOP key to go back to the "ACCESS LINE" and enter more letters for a closer search.
THOMPSON, RICHARD 12345685
PRODUCT CODE 2.

Once you have found the correct name, press the ENTER key. The customers name will be displayed on the left side
of the screen. The account number is displayed on the right side and the product to be delivered is displayed on the
bottom line. You can also press the  key to see the address and verify that this is the correct location.

Procedure for Accessing RAM System by Name
(Access By Name Feature) cont.
Press the START key to make the delivery or the STOP key to go back and restart the search process.

NOTE: Before you use this feature, make sure you know exactly how the customer names have been entered in the RAM
card. The way the names were entered in the RAM card is the same way you must type the first letters of the name on
the Lap Pad.

Message Displayed
NO AVAILABLE DISPATCH RECORDS: This message will be displayed when all scheduled records have been
used and there arent any available for delivery. Only unscheduled deliveries are possible at this point.

ACCOUNT ALREADY DELIVERED: This message will be displayed when you are scrolling down a list of
customers by using the  key and pass a record which already has been used. This record is no longer
available anymore for delivery and cannot be selected.

NOT FOUND, END OF LIST: That message means that the LectroCount3 searched the whole list of customers on
a RAM card and nothing similar or higher was found. For example, if all you had in a RAM card was a list of
customers that started with the letter "A" and you searched for a name starting with the letter "B", you would get
this message since nothing similar or higher (e.g., a name starting with the letter "C") could be found on the card.

SEARCHING PLEASE WAIT: This message is always displayed during the search of a customer. Depending on the
time it takes to search for a certain customer, the message may be displayed between a fraction of and a few seconds.

Office Setup
Before you can use the "Search by Name" feature on the vehicle, there are several changes you may have to make
in the way the LCLOAD file is created:

1. The dispatch records in the data file card must first be sorted alphabetically by the customers name, then by
the account number and last by the product number. If the names are not in alphabetical order, this feature
will not work properly on the truck.

2. The customer names must have all capital letters. This feature will not work with lower case letters or any other
character (e.g. * + = @ % -) that cannot be entered with the Lap Pad. Numbers included in the name are
allowed. The numbers are lower in value than letters (e.g. 0-9 come before A-Z). Spaces are lower than numbers.

3. The names can be entered as First Name Last Name or Last Name First Name. You can also enter the names
as Last Name, First Name although the driver will only be able to enter the letters before the comma during the
search. NOTE: If customer name is printed on the delivery ticket, it will appear exactly as it is seen in the name
field on the RAM card.

4. You can also enter several records for the same customer in the data file. To differentiate between records,
you can enter a number at the end of the name, for example, John Doe 1, John Doe 2, and so on.

Once these changes have been made, you must also make sure that the LectroCount3 on the vehicle has been updated
with this software feature.
