The current Analytical Development Division (ADD) Data Management System, (DMS) captures the essential analytical information during a sample analysis request using the DMS SAMPLE ANALYSIS REQUEST FORM. Analytical Development Division (ADD) personnel intercept each REQUEST FORM and assign appropriate Analysis Method Codes using the DMS ANALYSIS METHOD CODE ASSIGNMENT FORM. The SAMPLE ANALYSIS REQUEST FORM is user-hostile'' and first time users find it intimidating. Further, DMS operates on the unclassified IBM main frame (3081) using IBM's Customer Information and Control System'' (CICS). Sample submission, results entry, and all reporting functions are executed at night in batch mode. As a result of batch processing in the existing system, results and reports are not produced in a timely manner and neither ADD users nor ADD customers find it a user-friendly'' system. Increasing demands on the DMS and the constraints of the CICS environment and deficiencies in the existing DMS programming have led to the development of new DMS requirements. These requirements are discussed in this report.
