PFLOAD or ICLDPRxx ?
If the file has an extension of .PF you will use the PFLOAD process on that file
If there is no extension, use the ICLDPRxx where xx is equal to mfr code that you
use for this manufacturer.
If a replacing part number file is included with an extension of .PF use PFLOAD.
Create a second selection with a different input file same mfr code.
If no extension on the replacing number file, use IDLCRNxx were xx is the mfr
code.
Also, if there is a README file or notes in the email follow accordingly.
In the /home/price directory, enter more README, q to quit out of message.
