ARCOS > ARCOS PC Field Edit Program

ARCOS Personal Computer (PC)
 Field Edit Program


The Automation of Reports and Consolidated Orders System (ARCOS) has given registrants a new option in providing their reports to DEA. The least desirable way to report to ARCOS is by the manual form (DEA Form 333). With that in mind, DEA developed a software program for automated reporting to ARCOS via diskette. 

The "PC Field Edit Program" is being supplied free of charge to provide the paper-based forms reporter a more efficient and economical method for collecting, editing, storing and reporting ARCOS transactions to DEA. The program is available in two versions - Version 1.4 (16-bit) for 386 or 486 personal computers (PC) with Microsoft Window® 3.1, 95 or 98 operating systems, and a 32-bit Version 3.0 for PC's with the Windows 95/98 operating system. Potential Version 3.0 users must also have CD-ROM capability. The application offers several convenient features:

Creation of a database of a firm’s frequently used National Drug Code (NDC) Numbers and Associate Registrant Numbers;

Error prevention, identification and correction in many data fields before the records are sent to DEA;

A "carry over" feature for Transaction Code, NDC Number, Associate Registrant Number, DEA Order Form Number and Transaction Date.

ARCOS reporters interested in obtaining more information on this free software should contact the ARCOS Unit at (202) 307-8600.
