Foremost Insurance<br />

Recently, Foremost Insurance<br />

addressed a major project in<br />

the area af policy administration<br />

utilizing an ADABAS file in<br />

wh1oh new businesg policy<br />

transactions would be added,<br />

deleted or updated online interactively<br />

during nomat business<br />

hours, Also, a batch job<br />

wutd run daily to pull of!<br />

these policy transactions so<br />

that they could be entered into<br />

the evening batch applications.<br />

We decided to look at ADAM<br />

as the access methad for these<br />

ADABAS ftles described<br />

Using the unique descriptor,<br />

We were able to saw the find<br />

command prior b adding a<br />

pall6y to this fik, That is<br />

acoomplished by peiforming<br />

the N1 command and,then<br />

checking the response code<br />

for a 199. tfmonsreceived a<br />

199, tha mrdfor that policy<br />

is alr6ady on file. That is, the<br />

record has' been added by<br />

someone else for the unjque<br />

descriptor of the ADAM key.<br />

Therefore,the find command<br />

was virtually eliminated to determine<br />

whether or not to add<br />

the record.<br />
