ER-A440, 450T, 520 & 530 File Allocation Overview
File allocation programming for the ER-A440, 450T, 520 and 530 uses File Groups to reserve areas of
memory for data storage.
During file allocation, file groups work much like a batch file or command file does in an operating system
or software program. A single File Group may reserve areas of memory for a single file table or
multiple dependent or related file tables.
Programming by “Group” allows certain portions of some files (such as text length for Departments and
PLUs) to be changed without affecting other programmed areas of the function.
Depending on the File Group Type, the file allocation requirements will vary.
