Use this program to create and maintain the group codes file. Group codes can be used to group employees by departments or by employee classifications (such as: sales & marketing or clerks). The codes allow the user flexibility in the general message entry program. This program can send messages to employees based on group codes or to an individual employee. Using group codes would relieve the burden of sending messages to every single employee within a department or classification.
You establish your own set of valid group codes and descriptions. You should assign codes that are easy to remember; for example, sales department (SALE).
Each valid group code may represent up to 40 employees.
