File numbers are assigned in CBLGED.

Numbers can be manually entered or automatically assigned.

If automatically assigned:
	Originally numbers consisted of YYnnnnn.  YY was 
	read from system file and nnnnn was next sequential
	(YY=0 works for file numbers to 99999).

	For JSC - Add new file - NUMBERS,ABI 
	File is Word (key), Dword (last used number), Word (increment)
	If file exists it has last used file number and increment
	(10 for JSC, 1 for anyone else).
	Key is read from file field.

Re: Import File Numbers.

The program is set up to be able to select tne next sequential 
file number from a range of numbers.  The way it would work at 
Expeditors is as follows:
To select the next number for Dallas you would type a "1" and 
press F5 when starting a file.  For Houston it would be a "2" 
and F5.  We would define a range of file numbers that would be 
used for each of these sets. 

If you have multiple groups (as JS Connor does) you could have 
as many ranges as you require. (eg typing 3, 4 or 5 and F5 could 
access a different range of numbers.

I think this would accomplish what you need.  We can set it up 
so that Dallas uses the automatic and Houston continues to use 
the preassigned numbers they are using now if you wish.
 
Let me know what would be best for you.
