If the hours is valid, fueling is allowed. When the transaction completes, the system updates:

●

the vehicle record fields: E HOURS, to show the last hours entry; A HOURS to show the
new, accumulated hours; LITERS, to show the new accumulated number of liters pumped;
and LPH, to show the new calculation. Status flags may also change.

●

the transaction fields, TIME E and LPH to show the time elapsed and calculated LPH.

If the hours is invalid for the reasons listed above, the user is reprompted up to the number of
times specified in the NO. OF RETRIES system configuration entry (see Changes in Standard
Commands later in this section). If a valid hours is not entered, the transaction terminates. When
this occurs, the system:

●

makes no changes to the vehicle record

●

stores an empty transaction (no fuel dispensed) with the message INVALID HOURS in the
ERROR field. It also displays the following fields based on the value of the hours entered:

- If the entry is greater than the last recorded hours, the value is recorded in the TIME E

field and the LPH field shows 0.

- If the entry is less than the last recorded hours, the TIME E and LPH fields contain

question marks.

After the termination of the first transaction (where the system takes the listed actions), the user is
prompted to enter his card(s) again. The user can then enter any hours reading and fueling is
allowed. When fueling is complete, a normal transaction is recorded. The system updates the
vehicle and transaction files as follows:

●

In the vehicle file, if the hours entry is valid or invalid but greater than the beginning hours,
the system updates the following fields, E HOURS, to show the hours entry; A HOURS to
show the new, accumulated hours; LITERS, to show the number of liters pumped, and LPH,
to show the new calculation. Status flags may also change.

If the hours entry is invalid but less than the beginning hours, the E HOURS field is not
updated (this would result in negative hours). A HOURS does not change, LITERS
increases by the number of liters pumped, and LPH is recalculated. The status flag is
updated to << to indicate that fueling occurred but the last hours was not recorded.

●

In the transaction file, if the hours entry is valid or greater than the last recorded hours, the
TIME E and LPH fields are updated. If the hours entry is less than the last recorded hours,
the TIME E and LPH fields contain question marks.

LPH Calculation Disabled

Any hours entry is accepted. When the transaction completes, the system updates the vehicle
and transaction files as follows:

●

In the vehicle file, if the hours entry is greater than the beginning hours, the system updates
the following fields, E HOURS, to show the hours entry; A HOURS to show the new,
accumulated hours; and LITERS, to show the number of liters pumped. The LPH field will
contain the letters N/A, indicating LPH is not being calculated for this record. Status flags
may also change.
