Cher Ware has remarked several times that a good form would make the task of adding new software much easier. It would also provide permanent paper documentation for software additions.
Design a form to add software to the SOFTWARE MASTER. Open Data Flow Diagram 0 in Visio or Visible Analyst. View the SOFTWARE RECEIVED FORM repository entry for the data flow. Click on the link for the NEW SOFTWARE RECORD in the Composition to view the data structure containing the elements required on the form. Click the link (or Jump in Visible Analyst) to each element to determine the length of the screen field.
