Wild Card Characters in 6-Digit Tables
Release 1.5 or later of the MERLIN MAGIX system allows one-to-one wild card character matching in the area code entry (not the exchange code entry) of 6-digit tables. This allows ARS to program numbers such as Directory Assistance (xxx-555-1212) for multiple area codes with one entry.
|
In Release 1.0 systems, the wild card character (Pause) cannot be used in system programming to enter area codes and/or exchanges in ARS tables. |

SECURITY ALERT: |
Some regions charge for Directory Assistance. Also, many Directory Assistance calls ask you if you want to dial the number for an additional charge. Use Facility Restriction Levels (FRLs) to restrict the user from making Directory Assistance calls. |
Use the Hold button to enter a wild card character when you program a 6-digit table. The wild card character appears as "p" on a telephone display and on the printed report.
