The File Maintenance programs allow you to enter, change and delete data. These programs are used to enter the initial data required to set up the system. You can also add, change and delete the records in a file.
File maintenance programs create the foundation of the FACTS system. They enable users to enter file information (such as customer, item and vendor files) and control how the system processes information, as in SO Static Control.
File Maintenance programs are also referred to as F/Ms for short, these programs often function the same way.
