RE: AVOS AccuBasic Reports - Use GEMS card numbers when downloaded from GEMS



What is the amount of work and time involved in making this change.  The time involved could jeopardize our slot at Wyle labs.  If this is made after certification is completed we will need to immediately resubmit the change to Wyle for continued certification.  Once I can get a little more information, I will decide, but timing is crucial on this.

I think it should be done before certification since VTS is going the way of the round file -  IMHO

and we have many hoops to jump through for certification -   if it gets put off we just have to do it later -  so why not now since we are in Wyle? 

anyone else agree? disagree?

  It turns out that "fixing" this WILL require a firmware change.  The card number is formatted in the AccuBasic interpreter in the firmware rather than in the .abo files as I believed.

  Unfortunately we don't want to touch any more code than we absolutely need to at this point in our certification efforts and therefore this change will have to wait until after certification.

  We could of course "hack" an .abo file to work around this but it would be a temporary workaround and would probably be considered a billable request.
