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 />
aW.<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 />
