1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document is the users manual for the Nonpoint Source subsystem of the Grants
Information and Control System (NPS/GICS) On-Line Data Entry System, as developed by
the Systems Development Center (SDC), under Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Contract No. 68-W1-0055. NPS/GICS consists of a database and set of data entry and
reporting functions developed to help support nonpoint source management.
1.1 GICS Background
GICS is an Agency-wide, computer-oriented, management information system that contains
general information on all EPA grant programs administered through Headquarters and
regional offices
Since its first implementation in 1972, GICS has expanded considerably. It has been used by
various offices within EPA at the national, regional and state levels, and also by Congress
and other governmental agencies. In order to provide on-line access and update capabilities
for GICS, EPA initiated a modernization effort in Fiscal Year 1985. The new on-line system
is designed to run in an ADABAS nvironment with NATURAL as the programming
language. As a major part of the modernization, the GICS On-line Data Entry (GOLE)
system has been created to provide users with on-line data entry screens to facilitate update
and retrieval of the GICS data
1.2 Purpose of NPS/GICS
The Nonpoint Source Program provides grants to the states to address a variety of nonpoint
source problems: pollution of water assets (underground sources, watersheds, rivers, lakes,
estuaries, and ocean areas) from sources such as agricultural, household, or urban run-off of
pesticides, fertilizers, household and/or industrial chemicals and eroded soil, that cannot be
traced to permitted or point sources such as industrial plants or municipal waste water
systems. Each grant is spent by the state on one or more NPS Projects, each of which is
tracked separately. The primary purpose of each Project is to accomplish a set of Tasks
and/or Subtasks.
The NPS/GICS subsystem is intended to be a program and project management support tool
to assist Headquarters (HQ), Regional EPA, and state participants in the Nonpoint Source
Program. The new Nonpoint Source data entry portions of GOLE are referred to as
NPS/GOLE. In addition to data entry, a set of standard reports and a report writing utility
have been developed for NPS.
1.3 Structure of the Users Manual
The manual covers all screens that allow the user to process data elements for Nonpoint
Source Grants and their related Projects, Tasks, and Subtasks. Section 1 contains the
introduction including background information, purpose and structure of the manual.

2.0 SYSTEM SUMMARY
2.1 Overview
The NPS/GOLE subsystem allows for input, update, and display of data on Grants, as well as
Projects, Tasks, and Subtasks associated with a Grant. The subsystem is menu-driven and
accessed from the GICS Master Menu by selecting NPS under DATA ENTRY SYSTEMS
and a region.
The subsystem enables the user to record and manipulate data pertaining to Grants and
Projects, and Tasks and Subtasks stemming from Grants. The entry of data for these
functions is divided into eight screens that are described separately. They are as follows:
Grant level 1) Grant Status (GAD) - GAS
2) Grant Status (NPS Specific ) - GST
Project level 3) Project Summary - SUM
4) Project Categories - CAT
5) Project Budget - BUD
6) Project Budget Expense - BEX
Task level 7) Task Summary - TSK
Subtask level 8) Subtask Summary - SUB.
In addition to the data entry functions, the Nonpoint Source Main Menu also allows the user
to delete an existing record at the Project, Task, and Subtask levels. This function is
described in Section 4.
2.2 System Configuration
The Nonpoint Source subsystem is operational on an International Business Machine (IBM)
mainframe, which is located at the National Computer Center (NCC) in Research Triangle
Park (RIP), North Carolina
Once a user has a valid ID and account for the mainframe, there are two general methods for
accessing the systenr
1) The user may access the system directly via a dedicated circuit with a video display
terminal capable of emulating an IBM 3270.
2) The user may access the system via a modem connected to a terminal that emulates a
VT 100.

2.3 User Profile and Security
The NPS/GOLE subsystem is designed to be operated by registered users at EPA
Headquarters, in the regions, and at state offices. In order to register a user, the Regional
Coordinator must contact the Headquarters Application Data Base Administrator (ADBA).
There are several layers of security in place so that access to the files can be protected, thus
ensuring the integrity of the data. The first level of security is Resource Access Control
Facility (RACF) security, which isolates the GICS database, arid access to it, from the
universal system user.
Second, ADABAS security and NATURAL security combine in such a way that only
designated users are allowed access to update certain files.
Third, there are several security measures in place for the NPSIGOLE application itself. The
first of these measures functions, in part, as a double-check to ensure that the user has been
approved to update records. This verification is performed automatically each time the user
makes a request to add, change, or delete a record. The Regional Coordinator must contact
the Headquarters ADBA to request that a new user be entered into the security tables used for
this verification process.
In addition, users wishing to browse (look at, but not update) the data must have NATURAL
security, which enables them to logon to the application where the subsystem resides. GICS
security is not required for this type of user.
2.4 Screen Navigation
On each of the data entry screens, in the top left-hand corner, is a field iiiarked “Next
Screen”, to capture a three-character screen name. This screen name indicates the screen that
will be displayed once the user finishes with the current screen. This “Next Screen” name is
automatically generated for the user. However, the user is allowed to override the automatic
default path by typing over the existing screen name. Using this method, the user may view
a grant and its associated projects, tasks, and subtasks without having to return to the NPS
Main Menu.
Once the next screen is reached, the default path is automatically re-established.
Additionally, the user may “jump” to a different record than what is currently processed.
Standard to all NPS data entry screens is , the “Jump” key. Using , the
user may request a different grant, project, task, or subtask to be displayed, again without
having to return to the NPS Main Menu.

2.5 Functions and Processes
Certain functions and processes are standard throughout the NPS/GOLE subsystem:
• The  key is pressed to update the record with the values entered on each
screen.
I An invalid entry causes an alarm to sound and an explanatory error message appears
at the top of the screen. If the error pertains to a particular field, the cursor is
positioned at that field for re-entry.
• When a screen is displayed, the cursor is positioned at the first input field. The
 key,  key, and arrow keys let the user move the cursor
around the input fields;  and  are the most efficient.
I Tables have been established for selected fields requiring validation. These tables are
lists of valid entries for the fields in question.
• Help screens are available for each menu and data entry screen
• The naming conventions of the NPS subsystem are structured according to the
subsystem’s hierarchy and EPA guidelines. Each NPS/GOLE data entry or menu
screen has an eight-character name composed of the following five parts:
A two-character program prefix. “GJ” is used to indicate Nonpoint Source.
A one-character module type. There are three module types used: “U”
indicates a program module containing the logic controlling the screen; “M”
indicates a screen display module (“MAP’) that controls how record
information is displayed on the terminal; and “H” indicates a “Help” map
describing the procedures for using the screen and/or the valid input values.
A one-character region identifier (0 through 9 or A).
A three-character program identifier suggesting the subject of the screen. For
example, the program name “GJUASUMl” indicates the Project Summary
screen.
A one-character sequence number.
2.6 Program Function Key Definitions
The standard PF keys are listed below. Not all PF keys are used with all screens. Please
refer to the bottom of each screen for the applicable PF keys for that particular screen.

 Displays a “Help” screen listing the valid entries.
 Displays the “Next Screen” without updating the record.
In order to display the new screen, the system determines:
• Whether it has sufficient key information to access the data for the new
screen
• Whether the key information is valid (i.e., whether there is a record
matching the key information)
• Whether the “Next Screen” value is the name of a map in the map
default path.
Key information are the Grant-No-8, Project-No, Task-Seq-No, and Subtask-
Seq-No, as found on the NPS Main Menu. They are validated as follows:
To access:
The following has to be entered and
verified:
The Grant screens (GAS and GST)
Grant-No-8
The Project screens (SUM, CAT, BUD,
and BEX)
Grant-No-8
Project-No
The Task screen (TSK)
Grant-No-8
Project-No
Task-Seq-No
The Subtask screen (SUB)
Grant-No-8
Project-No
Task-Seq-No
S ubtask-Seq-No
If all is verified, the system automatically displays the new screen. If not, the
system displays a “pop-up” window (Figure 2.6-1,) requesting the necessary
information.
After the requested information is entered in the window, the system again
validates it. If it is valid, the system displays the new screen. If not, the pop-
up window is re-displayed with an error message. The window can be closed
by pressing .
After the window is displayed, the user also has the option to enter different
key information as well as a screen name in the window.

2.7 General Error Handling
The type of errors a user may encounter in using the NPS/GOLE subsystem falls into three
major categories. They are as follows:
• Data entry errors specific to a particular screen.
• Errors encountered throughout the NPS/GOLE subsystem.
• System errors.
Since the data entry errors specific to a particular screen are described in the detailed
narrative for that screen, this section describes general errors that the user may encounter.
Once the error message is displayed, the user should correct the error and press the
 key.
Error Message: INVALID SELECTION/CHECK MAP-SECURITY TABLE
Explanation: The selection either appears more than once or does not appear at all in
the Map Security table for the user. If the user has not miskeyed the
selection, the Regional Coordinator needs to request that the HQ ADBA
grant the user authority to access this screen.
Error Message. INVALID PROGRAM FUNCTION KEY SELECTED; PLEASE
RE-ENTER
Explanation: In general, the only valid PF keys for this system are: ,
, , , , ,and .
Another set of errors can occur from anywhere in the system and, once encountered, will
trigger the printing of an error message on a separate screen. An example is shown in
Figure 2.7-1, Error Screen Example. The error information displayed on the top half of the
screen will vary according to the particulars of each of the parameters shown. The status
message will indicate the nature of the error and the possible action for the user to take.
Messages of this type indicate that the user’s access to the record has been interrupted. The
error handling program classifies errors as “recoverable” or “serious.” For “recoverable”
errors, pressing  returns the user to the Main Menu. Depending on the
seriousness of the error, the user might be returned to the NATURAL logon screen or back
to the telecommunications monitor (TSO or CICS).
The most common screen error message is “Error 3009,” which indicates that the user has
been processing the same record for too long without taking any action. “Action’ means
pressing the  key or one of the  keys. If the user waits more than 10
minutes (roughly), the changes will be backed out and the record being processed will be
released Pressing one of the “action” keys after that will result in a 3009 error message. To
recover, press the  key again and the Nonpoint Source Main Menu will be
displayed. The user will then be able to access the record again.

can call their regional GICS Coordinator, that may yield an immediate answer (if the
condition has been noticed by other users). In any case, it allows the Regional Coordinator to
consolidate information and communicate that data to “application support” (the contractors
who write and maintain the software) or the “Database System Support (DBSS) Technical
Consultant” (the NCC staff member responsible for reviewing and installing changes to the
“production” NPS/GOLE subsystem).
If it appears that the NPS/GOLE design is functionally incorrect, inform the GICS ADBA at

3.0 SYSTEM OPERATIONS
This section discusses connection to the Nonpoint Source subsystem using both CICS and
TSO. The discussion includes sections on security, error messages, constraints and
limitations, and screen elements. Screens are provided as figures for easy reference.
3.1 Logging On the Nonpoint Source Subsystem
The method of establishing communication with the computer will depend on the particular
terminal and modem used. If the user’s terminal is directly connected to the mainframe as a
“3270” terminal, the screen in Figure 3.1-1 will appear when the terminal is turned on. For
other than directly-connected terminals, the user should follow instructions provided by local
Automated Data Processing (ADP) personnel.

CICDO4RT in progress,” or a similar message will momentarily flash across the screen. The
next menu to appear is the Production CICS Sign-On screen shown in Figure 3.2-1.
The first time a user logs on to the system, the default profile will have to be set with the
parameters on this screen (i.e., ACCT ID, FIMAS, and GROUP IDENT). When logging on
for the first time, the user should enter USERID, ACCT ID, FIMAS, GROUP IDENT, and
PASSWORD. The default profile will be set and will remain as the user’s default profile
until a new profile is set When logging on thereafter, the screen depicted in Figure 3.2-2
will be displayed and the user needs only to type in USERID and PASSWORD and press

The first time a user attempts to access the subsystem, a set of commands must be entered
after the prompt for INITIAL TRANS (action). Once the INITIAL TRANS is keyed in, it
will remain as the default every time the user logs on to the system. Whenever the user
wishes to change it, the new version will remain as the default.
There are two possible commands to type after the INITIAL TRANS prompt. They are:
• NATP.
This command is suitable for users who are using NATURAL for a variety of
purposes and will be accessing various libraries at different times Typing “NATP”

6.0 NPS REPORT WRITER
SDC-0055-Oi i-I-IL-4005
January 17. 1995
An enhanced version of the GICS Report Wnter is available in the Production environment
for NPS data. The NPS Report Writer allows the user to create custom reports of
GICS/NPS data by using a series of three input screens to specify selection criteria, sort
sequence, and format of the report. Specifications for reports created by the NPS Report
Wnter are saved so that they may be re-run and shared among users.
6.1 Initiating the NPS Report Writer
To initiate the NPS Report Wnter, logon to GICSGOLE in Production NATURAL2
(NATP). At the GICS Master Menu, shown below in Figure 6.1-1, place an “X” (or any
other character) next to the NPS Report Writer option under Reporting Systems and press
.
The Selection Criteria screen, shown in Figure 6.2-1, is the first NPS Report Wnter screen.
On this screen, the user indicates which files are to be accessed, the sort fields that are to be
used, and the title of the report. The Selection Criteria screen also provides the user with
the option of retrieving a previously-created report specification into the current NPS Report
Writer session. A discussion on using existing report specifications or creating new report
specifications using input fields on the Selection Criteria screen follows.

PC Download Format The report output is a TSO file, which is formatted for
download to a PC, and may be imported directly into PC
applications such as Lotus 1-2-3 for graphical reporting
or dBase for data base storage. The download file may
be loaded into any PC application that will import a
“Comma Delimited ASCII Text” (CDAT) file.
6.2.4 Region (Required)
Enter an applicable region number identifier (1 through 10) in the two-byte region prompt.
If the report is targeted for Region I, entries of “l_”, “01”, or “_i” are all valid. However,
Region 10 must be entered as “10”.
A report for all 10 regions may be executed by entering “99” in the Region prompt. The
Output Selection for this type of report must be either Batch or PC Download format.
6.2.5 File Selection (Required)
Mark the files to be accessed for the report by placing an “X” (or any other character) after
the file selections. The files are listed in hierarchical order; the first file marked on the list
becomes the primary file read by the Report Writer. Secondary files, any other files that are
marked, are linked to the primary file by a common grant number. One, two, or with
some restrictions, three files may be marked for a report.
A three-file report may be created in one of two ways. The first, as shown in Figure 6.2-5,
is by marking the Grant, Project, and Task files, allowing fields from each file to be
referenced and printed. Secondly, since the NPS Report Writer treats the Grant and Grant
Amendment files as if they were one file (selecting records from each and merging them
together), the user may select these two and a third file for the report. Otherwise, a
maximum of two files may be selected for any one report.
If the file selection includes NPS Projects or Tasks, the NPS Text prompt may be marked
with an “X” (or any other character) to select the multiple-page Description and/or
Evaluation text associated with each record on the report. Entenng “X” in the NPS Text
prompt does not Count as a selected file. The Select Text Field pop-up window, shown in
Figure 6.2-6, is displayed On the left hand side of the window an “X” will indicate the
file(s) identified for the report. Enter an “X” in the Description and/or Evaluation prompt on
the right hand side of the window for each desired text type. Both types of text field may be
printed.
The Text field pop-up window can also be displayed by pressing the  key from the
Selection Criteria screen. If the NPS Text prompt was blank before pressing , it
will be changed to “X” after selecting text fields for print.

6.2.7 Sort Fields (Optional)
Enter the names of fields to sort on. Order is significant because the first field named will be
the primary sort, the second field will sort within the first, and so forth. If a field name is
misspelled or does not exist in the specified file(s), the Report Writer will display an error
message. Sort fields mu.sf be specified as report output fields on the Report Format screen
(Section 6.4).
6.2.8 Specifying Multiple Occurring Fields within the Report Writer
Within the Report Writer screens, multiple occurring data base fields (i.e., Multi-value
Fields or MUs, and Periodic Groups or PEs) are indicated by the field name and the
occurrence number in parenthesis. For instance, the user specifies the third occurrence of
the field for waterbody type by entering ‘NPS-WATERBODY-TYPE(3)”. On the
Additional Selection Criteria screen (Section 6.3) and the Report Format screen (Section 6.4)
a range of values, i.e., more than one occurrence, may also be specified. To reference all
four occurrences of the field waterbody type on these two screens, enter “NPS-
WATERBODY-TYPE(1:4)”. In this field name notation the number in parenthesis before
the colon represents the start of the range and the number in parenthesis after the colon
represents the end of the range. The colon between the two numbers means “through”, as in
occurrences 1 through 4.

6.2. 10 Number of Break Fields (Optional)
When using Sort Fields, enter a number to indicate how many of the sort fields will have
break totals generated. For instance, suppose that the report will be sorted by State, Step,
and Grant-No, and that the number of break fields is 2. This causes “break totals” (subtotals
of “dollar’ fields and a count of the number of records) to be computed and printed under
each separate group of records that have the same value for State and Step. Furthermore,
another set of subtotals will be printed after each State, summarizing all the records for that
State. Finally, grand totals are printed at the end of the report, summarizing all the “dollar”
fields and giving a total count for all of the records printed.
The number of break fields must be less than or equal to the number of sort fields.
6.2.11 Summary Only (Optional)
When using Sort Fields, place an “X” in this field to print only the break totals and grand
totals of all “dollar” fields. The detail lines of the report are not printed. To invoke this
feature, the Number of Break Fields must be greater than zero.
6.2.12 Title (Optional)
The user may provide a title for the report. The title will appear at the top of the report
output and in the Selection Menu.
6.2.13 Format (Required)
Place an “X” in one of the format options to choose how the report is to be formatted. The
report format information appears and can be further adjusted on the Report Format screen
(see Section 6.4). Format options include:
Pre-Fill A standard pre-filled format is provided.
Previous Format information from the previous report job in the current
session is provided. This option allows the user to run several
jobs in succession, making slight changes to the format or the
selection criteria, without having to retype all of the
specifications. When a user retrieves an existing report program
using  or , “Previous” appears as the default
format option.
Blank Screen A blank Report Format screen is provided.

January 17. 1995
The Additional Selection Criteria screen, shown in Figure 6.3-1, appears when
 is pressed at the Selection Criteria screen and is used to further define the
subset of records that are to be selected for reporting. If this screen is left blank, no further
definition will be made. All entries on this screen are optional.
Figure 6.3-1. Additional Selection Criteria Screen
The Additional Selection Criteria screen is divided into four groups of rows and four
columns. The different row groups allow the user to create a wide variety of selection
criteria. If a field name is misspelled or a field name does not exist on the file, an error
message is displayed. A Field Search function (described in Section 6.2.9) to assist the user
in making valid field name entries is available by pressing .
Within the Additional Selection Cnteria screen, multiple occurring data base fields (i.e
Multi-value Fields or MUs, and Periodic Groups or PEs) are indicated by the field name and
the occurrence number in parenthesis. For instance, the user specifies the third occurrence of
the field for waterbody type by entering “NPS-WATERBODY-TYPE(3)”. More than one
occurrence may also be specified. To reference all four occurrences of the waterbody type,
enter “NPS-WATERBODY-TYPE(l:4)’, as shown in Figure 6.3-2. In this example, the
number in parenthesis before the colon represents the start of the range and the number in
parenthesis after the colon represents the end of the range. The colon in this notation means
“through”, or occurrences I through 4.

Figure 6.3-2. Referencing Multi-value Ranges
Used in this manner, the multi-value reference shown above will retrieve records from the
file when any of the four occurrences of “NPS-WATERBODY-TYPE” contains any one of
the values listed on the rIght.
6.3. 1 Single Value Comparisons (Row Group 1)
The top group of rows allows records to be selected on single values of a field, such as
“CITY = BALTIMORE” (Figure 6.3-3). With this selection criteria, only grant records for
the City of Baltimore are selected. Enter the name of the field in the Field Name column.
Enter the logical operator in the second column.
There are seven possible logical operators:
= - Equal To
NE - Not Equal To
- Less Than (field is less than value)
LT - Less Than (field is less than value)
> - Greater Than (field is greater than value)
GE - Greater Than or Equal To (field is greater than or equal to value)
LE - Less Than or Equal To (field is less than or equal to value)

Enter one value in the third column marked Single Value. This value is used to limit record
selection by the field entered in the Field Name column (an asterisk indicates “blank” as the
value). The fourth column is used to indicate the file in which a field is present. If this
column is left blank, the Report Writer will automatically fill it in, looking for the field first
in the primary file and then in the secondary file.

Figure 6.3-3. Single Value Selection Criteria (Row Group 1)
There are seven rows in the first group. Therefore, up to seven conditions can be entered.
The Report Writer joins these conditions with “AND.” To be selected, each record must
pass all of these conditions. Consider the two critena, “CITY = BALTIMORE” and
“FUNDS-AWARDED > 500000.” With this selection cntena, the only grant records that
will appear are those that are for the City of Baltimore AND Funds-Awarded greater than
$500,000. This example is shown below in Figure 6.3-4.

6.3.2 Code Value Fields (Row Group 2)
A user might wish to select all the records where a field takes one of several discrete code
values; for instance, all the records that have an Admin-Complete-Code of “A” OR “B.”
The “OR” means that a record with either of the two values is acceptable. Note that Row
Group 1 cannot be used this way, since criteria are connected by ANDs rather than ORs.
Figure 6.3-5 shows the input for Row Group 2. To allow for different field lengths, this
group has two sets of input rows. The first 2 rows provide entry for up to 10 two-byte
values, while the last 2 provide entry for up to 7 three-byte values. Shorter lengths can be
entered in any row.

Up to four code value field rows can be used. The separate rows are combined with ANDs
like the rows in the top group.
6.3.3 Date Range Fields (Row Group 3)
The third group of rows allows the user to specify a range of dates for a date field in the
format YYMMDD. The Start Date and End Date fields are used to define the range of
dates for the search; a logical operator is not required. In the example below (Figure 6.3-6),
a range of 700101 to 900101 has been selected for Admin-Complete-Date. The user may
specify up to two date range criteria; like the other row groups, the criteria are linked by
ANDs and all the rows have to be satisfied to select a record.

Both dates of the range must be specified. To specify “all before a certain date,” use an
arbitrarily low Start-Date, such as 700101, To specify “all after a certain date,” specify an
End-Date far into the future, such as 991231.
6.3.4 Scan For Field (Row Group 4)
The Scan For Field row is used to search for a group of characters within a field. For
example, the user makes the inputs shown in Figure 6.3-7 to select all records with
“BALTIMORE” somewhere in the NAME field. The value scanned for does not have to be
at the beginning of the field (for example, NAME contains “City of Baltimore”).

Figure 6.4-1. Report Format Screen
The Report Writer creates reports that are formatted for “pages” when Online or Batch
output is selected. A page is a 66-line-by-132-column piece of paper or a 23-line-by-132-
column video terminal screen. The Report Format screen can be used to obtain the desired
output within these page limits by compressing the data into a more compact form and
arranging the data to make attractive output which is clear and useful.
When a user selects PC Download Format, the Report Writer creates a formatted “tabular”
extract of data, which may be up to 5000 columns wide. Double quotes enclose all text
fields and commas are placed between each field to indicate where one field ends and the
next field begins. The 5000 columns include the extracted data and these formatting
characters.
6.4. I Anatomy of a NATURAL Report
Each page of a NATURAL report is divided into two basic areas: the Title Area and the
Column Area. The Title Area contains the title lines of the report, which were entered on
the Selection Criteria screen. Below the Title Area is the Column Area. Each column in the
Column Area contains a header and a set of data rows, and may contain a summary (total)
for the numenc fields. The header indicates which field (or fields) is being displayed in the
column. NATURAL prints a line of dashes and a blank line under the header. The data
6-18

rows are printed next. At least one data row appears for each record selected. If break
totals or summaries were requested on the Selection Criteria screen, a set of totals on all
“dollar” fields is printed at the bottom of each “break” and a grand total is printed at the
bottom of the report.
The width of each column is either the width of the header or the width of the largest data
field printed in that column (whichever is greater). For Online and Batch output, the sum of
the column widths on the report (plus a single space between columns) cannot exceed the
132-column page limit. A PC Download format file may reach up to 5000 columns.
6.4.2 Report Format Screen Inputs
If the user selected Pre-Fill on the format section of the Selection Criteria screen, some of
the fields on the Report Format screen are “pre-filled” for the user. A pre-filled Format
screen, utilizing data from the Grants file, is shown in Figure 6.4-2. Other examples of pre-
fill formats include the Project file as shown in Figure 6.4-3, the Task file as shown in
Figure 6.4-4, and the Subtask file as shown in Figure 6.4-5. If Previous was chosen as the
Format option on the Selection Criteria screen, the information will be filled in the way it
was for the last report run during the same session or, for an existing report, as it was when
the report was last run. The user may modify any of the inputs on the Report Format screen
to customize the NATURAL report output.

The input fields on the Report Format screen are organized into six columns: Field Name,
Override Header, # Char, Stack, File, and IS=ON. These input fields plus a final
option, Write Line, are discussed below.
Field Name
Type in the names of the fields to be displayed. The names must be valid field names from
the file that is being read. If a name IS given that is not in the file or if a name is
misspelled, the Report Writer displays an error message. The Field Search Function
(described in Section 6.2.9) is available to assist the user in making valid field name entries.
The order of the names, listed top to bottom, will be the order of the names across the
page/screen of the report. The Stack input column can be used to modify that order by
“stacking” some fields on top of each other (creating a two- or three-line report for each
record) when Online or Batch output is selected.
On the Report Format screen, multiple occurring data base fields (i.e., Multi-value Fields or
MUs, and Periodic Groups or PEs) are indicated by the field name and the occurrence
number in parenthesis. For instance, the user specifies the third occurrence of the field for
waterbody type by entering “NPS-WATERBODY-TYPE(3)”. More than one occurrence
may also be specified. To print all four occurrences of the waterbody type, enter “NPS-
WATERBODY-TYPE(l :4)”, as shown in Figure 6.4-6. In this example, the number in
parenthesis before the colon represents the start of the range and the number in parenthesis
after the colon represents the end of the range. The colon in this notation means “through”,
or occurrences 1 through 4 All four occurrences of the field “NPS-WATERBODY-TYPE”

Overnde Header
NATURAL has a “default” column header that it will use for each field in the report. The
default header is usually the field name, perhaps abbreviated and sometimes stacked up in a
column with two or three rows. Use the Override Header space to provide custom report
column headnigs. The user may wish to reduce the space taken for each column by placing
a slash in the Override Header column to stack the header as shown in Figure 6.4-7.

# Char
The # CHAR column is used to change the number of characters of a field that is
printed/displayed. Generally speaking, itis used to shorten the width, truncating the field’s
content There are several examples of this on the standard Pre-Fill format (Figure 6.4-2).
To display only the first 20 characters of the field “Name,” which is 38 characters long, the
user places a 20 in the # CHAR column as in Figure 6.4-8.

It is often beneficial to change the width of GICS/NPS dollar fields. Most of these have
been defined as nine digits. The user can choose a width that matches the size of the actual
data and the totals being calculated (Figure 6.4-9).

The Stack column is used to stack more than one field in a single column. In Figure 6.4-10

The stacking example above has both fields of the same width (20 characters). If the fields
are of unequal length, the column will assume the width of the larger field.
The Stack command is not permitted when a user selects the PC Download Format. This
option creates a “tabular” extract of data that does not allow two fields to be written in the

The user may enter the source file for the field to be displayed. If no source file is entered,
the Report Writer will value this field automatically by first searching the primary file and

The user may place an “X” (or any other character) in this field to suppress the display of
any field value that is identical to the previous value for that field. For example, a report in
which one of the specifications was that Award-Code had to be equal to “A” would print the
Award-Code (“A”) for every grant on the report. However, if the user selected IS=ON,
then Award-Code would only print for the first grant on every page, since the Award-Code
is always equal to “A.”
Write Line
The Write Line option allows the user to display a large field that is not well-suited to a

6.5.3 Batch Report Output
The default output destination for a batch report is either a specific remote printer or HOLD
status. If HOLD is entered in the REMOTE prompt of the Batch Submission screen, the
completed job and report output may be viewed in the TSO/SDSF output queue. After
review, the output may be routed to a printer. As an alternative, the report may be routed to
a TSO dataset for manipulation or download.
Figure 6.5-7 shows an example of batch report output.

6.5.3.2 PC Download Format Output
Selecting PC Download Format submits a batch job and creates a TSO dataset. The dataset
is formatted for download to a PC and can be imported into most PC applications. This
process creates a Comma-Delimited file, every field is separated by a comma and all alpha
or text fields are enclosed in double quotes. When it is downloaded to the PC, the format is
known as a Comma-Delimited ASCII Text (or CDAT) file.
After the user completes entry on the Report Format screen, the Batch Submission screen is
displayed.
There is one difference in the use of this screen for the PC Download Format and Batch
output options. The output of the PC Download Format run is always a TSO dataset and
requires an entry in REPORT OUTPUT FILE NAME. This must be a fully-qualified
dataset name (see Section 6.5.3). When no file name is supplied, an error message as shown
in Figure 6 5-9 is displayed.

6.5.4 Batch Report Submission
Selecting Batch output submits the report for batch execution so it may be routed to a printer
from TSO/SDSF. After the user completes entry on the Report Format screen, the Batch
Submission screen, shown in Figure 6.5-11, is displayed. The input on this screen defines
the batch execution parameters.

Default information for the Input prompts of several fields on this screen are retrieved from
the GICS Batch Submission table based on USERID. This table, which is maintained by the
GICS Team, is used to automatically provide values for the Account, FIMAS ID, Bin, and
Remote. However, the supplied values may be overwritten by the user at the time of
execution.
REMOTE may be used to identify a remote printer ID that will accept the report output.
The report will be printed automatically after execution. Typing the word HOLD will cause
the print output to be held in the SDSF job queue so that it may be reviewed before routing
to a printer. This is helpful if you are completing several iterations of Report Writer to
refine the subset of records being retrieved for the report.
TIME is an entry comprised of two prompts, one for minutes and one for seconds, which
defines how much time will be allowed for the job to execute. This may be a range from
00,01 (or 1 second) to 10,59 (10 minutes, 59 seconds). A job that is defined with 5 or more
minutes will be placed in an evening/overnight execution queue. Very rarely will a job
require this much time. The default TIME entry for a single Region report is 2,0 (or 2
minutes), while the default for an all region run is 4,45 (4 minutes, 45 seconds).

PROGRAM is loaded by Report Writer with the value of NEW PROGRAM NAME
established in the Selection Criteria screen.
Responding Y to the LIST JCL? prompt will cause the JCL, which is created as a result of
the report definition, to be displayed on the terminal screen for the user’s review.
The report output may also be routed to a TSO file by entering a fully-qualified dataset name
in the REPORT OUTPUT FILE NAME. A fully-qualified dataset name includes the
combination of USERID and Account as the first qualifier. For example if the USERID is
“ZED” and the Account is “AGIC,” a fully-qualified dataset name would look like:
ZEDAGIC.REPORT.OUTPUT
The dataset may then be edited, reviewed, and/or downloaded to the PC.
The SAVE SOURCE IN ADHOC? prompt has been preset to ‘Y’ causing the generated
Report Writer program to be saved in the NATURAL library, GICSADH, in the NATA ad-
hoc environment. The program is saved with a name equal to the user’s USERID. A user
with an understanding of NATURAL programming may then edit, modify, and re-run this
program.

6.6 Calculation Function
The Calculation Function provides the user a facility to define variables that may be used to
hold the result of arithmetic operations performed against GICS data. The defined variables
may be used as SORT fields, additional selection criteria, ajd included in the report format.
Before invoking the Calculation Function, the user must have at least selected the report
output type (i.e., Online, Batch, or PC Download Format), the region, and indicated a file
selection. Once these elements have been entered, the Calculation Function is activated by
pressing the  key from any of the four Report Wnter entry screens.
Pressing  displays the Calculation Function Definition screen shown in Figure 6.6-1.

The screen is comprised of 14 rows of blank input prompts divided into 8 columns. Headers
at the top of each column indicate the expected Input. These headers identify individual
components of the arithmetic expression. They indicate where user entry should occur for the
arithmetic operator, the parentheses to order arithmetic evaluation, the name of the result
variable, and the GICS fields that are being acted upon.

CaIc Variable
This IS the user-defined field that holds the result of the arithmetic operation. This name
must start with the “#“ character to identify it as a vanable to Report Wnter.
Operators
These single-byte entries define the specific operation to be performed, including the equal
sign and the four arithmetic symbols:
= Equal
2 + Addition
3. - Subtraction
4. * Multiplication
5 / Division
The user enters the symbol that represents each applicable action in the two columns marked
with the symbol headers Note that the equal sign, “= “, may only be entered in the middle
column of the Calculation screen.

SDC-OOSS-Oi I-HL-400S
January 17. 995
GICS Field Names
The primary tile marked on the Selection Criteria screen may supply fields that can be acted
upon in the body of the calculation. For example, the calculation can determine a balance of
payments by subtracting C1J1 ’I-PAYMENTS from CUM-AWARD. Any numeric GICS
field that has a length of 9 or 12 can be used in a definition. To help identify valid
candidates, the Field Search Function is available by entering a four-character field prefix
and pressing the  key to display a list of fields and definitions. GICS Field Names
can be typed into either column marked “FIELD NAME”.
Parentheses
The entry of parentheses is optional in the calculation but may be used to direct the order of
evaluation in the expression. These may be entered in one of the four columns that enclose
the Field Name entry.
6.6.2 Rules for Defining a Calculation
There are some general rules that apply to the Calculation screen:
• The names of all variables that are defined to hold the result of an arithmetic
operation must start with the “#“ character. For example, names such as #TOTAL,
#BALANCE, or #PERCENTAGE-PAID are valid. Examples of names that are
invalid include TOTAL-AMT or PROJECT-SUM because they do not start with the
‘#“ character.
• A single Calculation Function screen may hold several calculations. Once a variable
has been defined, it may be used in a subsequent definition. For example, the first
definition may use a vanable named #BALANCE to determine a balance of payments.
In a subsequent definition, #BALANCE may be subtracted from the field FUNDS-
AWARDED, as shown in Figure 6.6-3.

A display just below the input area identifies the GICS file that may be used as the
source for fields included in the calculation. Only the primary or first file selected on
the Selection Critena screen may be used for calculations as shown in Figure 6.6-4
where field selections must come from GICS 1-PROJ.
• Only one field at a time may be entered under the FIELD NAME header.
• If an existing report definition was retrieved by either the  or  keys
from the Selection Criteria screen, the Calculation Function screen will be loaded
with the previously-defined values.
• If a calculation includes division by a GICS field, include an entry on the Additional
Selection Criteria screen that will retrieve only records where the GICS field (divisor)
is greater than zero. This prevents a divide by zero error that would cause the report
program to abnormally terminate. In Figure 6.6-5, the second calculation uses the
field CtJM-A WARD for division. The Additional Selection Criteria screen, shown in
Figure 6.6-4, shows the correct method of avoiding the divide by zero error for
CUM-A WARD.

7.5.8 NPS/MARS Report
This report provides a comparison between Cum-Award (the year-to-date awarded amount
from GICS) arid the year-to-date drawdown amount (as reflected in IFIvIS/MARS). It also
computes the drawdown percentage, the unexpended balance, and the expended balance
percentage between these two amounts.
The selection Criteria used to develop this report includes Grant-level NPS records with
matching MARS records. The user may limit the report to one fiscal year or a range of fiscal
years. The Cum-Award and drawdown amounts are then extracted, and the various
percentages and balances computed. The report is primarily sorted by Region, State, and

Nonpoint Source Text Upload Function

SDC-0055-Oi i-HL-4005

APPENDIX C
NONPO1NT SOURCE TEXT UPLOAD FUNCTION
Introduction
The Text Upload function allows an NPS user to invoke an automated procedure to store
large blocks of text in an NPS Project or Task record’s Description or Evaluation fields.
Pressing the  key at the Nonpoint Source Main Menu starts the process by
displaying a window that accepts the file name of a TSO dataset. If formatted properly, the
contents of the dataset will be loaded into an NPS record. The user may choose to either
REPLACE or APPEND the contents of the data base fields with the text in the TSO dataset.
Rather than entering the text information manually in the data entry screens, the NPS user
may create or modify large text blocks with a PC word processor or the SPF Editor. After
all editing is complete and the file has been transferred to a TSO dataset, the text may be
uploaded directly into the NPS mainframe data base.
If the file has been manipulated by a PC word processor, the user must first save a version
of the document as an ASCII text file and then transfer it to a TSO dataset. There are many
ways to accommodate the transfer including Arbiter and DynaComm/Elite.
Using the Nonpoint Source Text Upload
The Noripoint Source Text Upload function is accessed from the Nonpoint Source Main
Menu. After logging on to the GICS Master Menu, select the NIPS subsystem and enter the
applicable region number to display the Nonpoint Source Main Menu as shown in Figure C-
To invoke the Text Upload process, press the  key. The Text Upload Window,
shown in Figure C-2, overlays the Nonpoint Source Main Menu and the cursor rests on the
prompt for a Fully Qualified Text File (a TSO dataset) name. A TSO dataset name may
include several components, each separated by a penod. Each of these components is known
as a qualifier. To enter a fully qualified dataset name means to enter the complete name
including all components
It is best to create the TSO dataset file name with its first qualifier equal to the combination
of your USERID and 4-character Account to avoid RACF security access errors during the
upload. For example, if your USERID is ‘ZED” and your Account is “AGIC”, the first
qualifier will be:
ZEDAGIC
ZEDAGIC.RGN1NPS.UPLOAD is an example of a fully qualified dataset name with this
first qualifier.

A properly formatted dataset may contain text updates for one or several NPS Project or
Task records. Within a single file the same record may be referenced to update both the
Description and Evaluation text blocks. A Text Upload file may also contain both REPLACE
and APPEND update actions. Choosing REPLACE will overwrite the contents of the text
with the upload file An APPEND update will write the upload text after the last existing text

The NPS Text Upload process executes a batch job to load the identified dataset and update
the NPS data base. The batch job must complete successfully for the updated text to exist and
be available for retrieval from the NPS Project or Task record(s).
From the Text Upload Window, press  to return to the Nonpoint Source Main Menu

Formatting a Text File for Upload
To function correctly, a text file must be created in a prescribed format. A properly
formatted dataset may contain text updates for one or several NPS Project or Task records.
Within a single file the same record may be referenced to update both the Description and
Evaluation text blocks. A Text Upload file may also contain both REPLACE and APPEND
update actions. Choosing REPLACE will overwrite the contents of the text with the upload
file. An APPEND update will write the upload text after the last existing text page.
For each action against a record, the following four sections must be included for the upload:
1. Line 1 - Key Field Info
The first line of each update action contains the new record indicator: “##“, a valid
NPS-Grant-No-8, a separator fl 1I, and the NPS Project No. If a Task record is being
modified, this line also contains a separator after the Project No, followed by the
Task No. The new record identifier “#11” must start in column 1. For example, to
update text from the Project No: 02 for NPS Grant: 00110114, the first line must be:
##001 10114-02
If the update will affect Task 04 of this same Project, the line would be entered:
##O01 10114-02-04
2. Line 2 - Action and Target Field
Starting in column I in caps, enter either an R to replace or an A to append text data,
a separator “-“, and the name of the target field - DESCRIPTION or EVALUATION.
Both the action and the target must be entered in caps. As an example:
R-DESCRIPT ION
3. Text To Be Loaded
This section includes all the lines of text that will be loaded into the NPS record.
Each NPS Text field (i.e., Project Descnption or Task Evaluation, for example) may
store a maximum of 9,999 18-line pages. The updated text must not exceed this
maximum.
4. After Last Line of Text - End of Record Delimiter
A line is added after the last text line to indicate the end of the text block. This line
only contains the end of record delimiter characters: These must also start in
column 1 For example:
C-6

A formatted Text File may contain actions for more than one record. There is no limit to the
number of records that may be modified by one file as long as each record has the four
sections outlined above.
Figure C-8 shows an example of proper text file formatting. The TSO dataset illustrated in
Figure C-9 is formatted for a REPLACE operation. Formatting for an APPEND is shown in
Figure C-1O. The end of record delimiter “ @“ is not seen in Figures C-9 and C-1O
because these datasets are longer than a single screen.

in the process. It details the NPS grant number, Project number, Task number, whether the
action was a Replace or Append, the Text field updated, and displays a portion of the first
line of text processed.
This report also displays error message information if the update activity for a specific
transaction did not occur. Typical errors include not finding a parent Project or Task record,
entering an invalid target text field, or the improper formatting of the upload file. The report
can be used to identify errors in the upload file format. Once the error transactions have been
corrected, they may be submitted again using the Text Upload process.
Recommendations for PC Word Processing Settings
The most important thing to remember in manipulating a document in a PC word processor
for future use as an Upload text file is that it must be saved as an ASCII text file. Doing this
will eliminate all formatting internal to the word processing package. That is, all bolding,
underline, multiple font selections, tables, and graphics will not be translated to the resulting
file. Therefore, it may be helpful to maintain one version of the document to be distributed
in hard copy form that includes formatting and a second version that is saved as a text file
just prior to creating the TSO dataset.

Secondly, you must have access to a procedure that will transfer the document to a TSO
dataset. There are several ways to do this, including Arbiter and DynaCommfElite. Whatever
method is used to accomplish the transfer, the TSO dataset must exist before the Upload Text
function is invoked.
A couple of rules will help to ensure that the uploaded text is compatible with the size of the
text fields in NPS. These are:
• Use a standard left/right margin of 1”.
• Just before saving the working version as an ASCII text file, change the default font
to one of these settings:
- Courier 10.
- CG Tinies 16 or larger (if using an HP LaserJet III or compatible print
driver).
- Univers 14 or larger (if using an HP LaserJet III or compatible print driver).
The easiest recommendation to implement is Courier 10 because it is the most
universal. Using these font selections will ensure that the text lines that are loaded
into NPS won’t be so long that they wrap to the next line wasting a lot of storage
space. If you are using a printer other than the HP LaserJet III, you may want to
experiment with different font selections to arrive at an optimum setting.
• Replace all extended ASCII characters, such as bullets and line draw characters, with
simple single stroke keyboard characters. For example, using the typographical
character set bullet 4,0 looks great on paper but will not translate to a printable
character in the TSO dataset It’s better to do a search and replace converting the
bullet to an asterisk.

Januaiy 17. 1995
A new function has been added to the Nonpoint Source data entry programs that allows users
to display GICS Information Resources Directory (GIRD) information online. Use of the
Dictionary Look-up is a convenient way to access the GIRD resource as it resides in the
Production NATURAL2 environment (NATP) without exiting the Nonpoint Source data entry
subsystem.
To use the Dictionary Look-up function, press  from one of the data entry screens.
A window will be displayed on the data entry screen as shown in Figure D-l.
Figure D-I. Field Search Window
This window is used to create a listing of field names that can then be selected for dictionary
retrieval. Enter up to four characters of the field name to be referenced. For example,
“qapl’ might be entered to list the field name NPS-QAPLAN-APR-DATE. Or “code” could
be entered to list fields that contain the character string “code.” To list all of the fields on a
file, leave the search value blank.
Press  to cancel the Dictionary Look-up or  to display the Field Search
Function screen shown in Figure D-2.

Figure D-2. Field Search Function Screen
The Field Search Function screen displays a list of the fields that contain the search value
previously entered. If no search value was entered, the Field Search Function screen displays
a list of all the fields on the file.
Select the field(s) you wish to view by placing an “X” (or any other character) in the ‘List
Definition’ space after the field name. Page down the listing by pressing . Be sure
to press  until the words “End of Search” or “No Matches Found” appear on the
screen. Because of the way the Dictionary Look-up reads the PREDICT file (100 records at
a time), an empty screen does not necessarily mean that no matches are present on the file.
After indicating the desired fields to be viewed, press  to display the GIRD
information on the first field. The GIRD listing for the field NPS-QAPLan-Rec-Code is
displayed in Figure D-3.
