The EKS interface should be later within the chain then the communication program when the communication program is used to retrieve the files.

The program will try to find a MB parameter record for every installed Marketing company. The import will be started when the MB parameter record and the file specified in the EKS import filename can be found in the standard receive directory for the communication program (e.g. 'user3/kcccr/xfer/MB/receive').

The file will be deleted when it was processed without any error from the server.

Three reports are created and printed to the default printer. One with the critical program errors, one with the warnings, like unable to update the chassis number on the VSB record and one with the amendments done to the Autoline files.
