0506 - Summary/Objective
0507 -
050701 - Follow up ref SDS 1 159L.
050702 -
050703 - Need to change the SDS records dir structure for reasons on 901104.
050704 - ref SDS 1 I86I
050705 -
050706 - The last time this was changed was on 901104. ref SDS 2 0001
050707 -
050708 - Started doing this today, but decided to hold off.  I do not seem to
050709 - have the energy for it today afterall.

0510 - Analysis
0511 -
051101 - Have been working with this for 2 years.  This experience indicates a
051102 - dir structure like alternate #2 shown on 901104, ref SDS 1 I86I, would
051103 - facilitate maintenance.  I think the problem of creating directories
051104 - for all years which is occurring now when we transfer records via
051105 - laplink between computers, can be eliminated by using the new feature.
051106 - We would be able to specify a year for a User.  Under the present
051107 - scheme to do this we have to specify User, type and year, and do this
051108 - 5 times.  That has proven more burdensome than expected when I created
051109 - the present structure on 901104. ref SDS 1 VL6F
051110 - ..
051111 - I would also like to increase the User ID from 5 to 6 or 7
051112 - characters, but think I will leave it alone for now.  We creep up on
051113 - doing the sensible thing.  I seem to be getting stogy in my midlife
051114 - years.

0514 - Procedure
0515 -
051501 - Need to back up all the existing code and data, so if the effort does
051502 - not go well, we can put everything back the way it is now.
051503 -
051504 - Will use the macros changed at ref SDS 2 0000, to modify the new code.
051505 -
051506 - All that matters is where the files are stored on the disk.  We are
051507 - not changing the structure of the SDS program.

051901 - At this time, I don't see anything in this file that needs to be
051902 - changed.  Possibly something in the menu code, macro 80 might require
051903 - some modifications.

052302 - a change.
