Choose the S > SORT bursar output file menu option after you have created the bursar.out file to sort the records it contains into the bursar.send file.
The format of records in the bursar.send file is identical to that of the bursar.out file. The records in this file are sorted by patron and invoice number so that all records for each patron are grouped together in ascending invoice number order. This simplifies the processing for the bursar's office machine.
Once you have chosen S > SORT bursar output file, the bursar.send file appears in the list of files at the top of the screen the system displays when you verify the bursar.send file with the Y > DISPLAY file SIZE & DATE menu option.
The bursar.send file is the file that is sent from the system to the bursar's office with the T > TRANSMIT bursar file menu option.
