Microcall Interface Program
Version 2.4
Overview
The MICROCAL program is a DOS program. It is used to convert telephone expense transactions from a Microcall System to be compatible with the Tabs3 Merge Data Capture Transactions program.
The MICROCAL program must reside in the same directory as the Tabs3 programs in order to work properly. The Tabs3 program directory can be found by starting Tabs3 and selecting Help | About Tabs3.
Important: This program works with data formats from Microcall versions 5.x, 6.x, 7.x as well as the Windows version. If you are using a different version of Microcall, your data must match one of these 4 formats.
Note: The Create Validation Files program must be run before you can successfully use this data capture device interface program. The Create Validation Files program is found in Tabs3 by selecting the following menu options Maintenance | Integration | Create Validation Files. When creating validation files, select a Validation File Type of Data Capture Device.
Note: This DOS program cannot be run under a 64-bit operating system. Although it can be installed on a 64-bit server, it must be run by a non-64-bit workstation.

Important: Be sure to clear the transactions from your Microcall system's memory to avoid duplication of data merged with your Tabs3 files.
Note: If you are not using a demo version of the program, the MICROCAL.DTA file will automatically be deleted when the conversion is complete to avoid double posting of the data.
Note: You may change the phone call transaction code used by the Microcall program by deleting the MICROCAL.PRM file which is created in your Tabs3 directory. This will enable you to go through the setup procedure described above in Step 3 as a first time user of the program.
