1.1 CENTRY (Schedule Adjustments)

In this manual, the term CENTRY refers only to monthly schedule
adjustment functions. These schedule adjustment functions also may be
referred to as CENTRY requests. CENTRY schedule adjustments are
used to make changes to a line after the SLIC bid award.

To access all schedule adjustment functions, press enter at Schedule
Adjustments. The cursor automatically positions at Schedule
Adjustments when first signing into the system.




The information provided in this manual does not include any
other functions on the CENTRY Main Menu, with the
exception of Personal Audit Trail. Information is provided on
this as schedule adjustment functions are recorded in the
Personal Audit Trail.

1.2 Using the CENTRY Manual

The CENTRY Manual is intended to be a complete guide to the
Schedule Adjustment options. It should be retained as a reference.

The CENTRY Manual is divided into sections, and each of these
sections is divided into numbered sub-sections. The titles of the sub-
sections are listed in the section header. Each sub-section may include
topics. Along with sub-sections and topics there may be additional
information entitled Details to Know.

A Table of Contents is located at the beginning of the CENTRY
Manual. The Table of Contents lists each section, sub-section, and topic
in the order of appearance. An Index is located at the end of the
CENTRY Manual. The Index contains subjects in alphabetical order
with the reference number.

A section heading looks like this:
Section Introduction
1
CENTRY (Schedule Adjustments); Using the CENTRY
Manual; Terminology; Syntax Quick Reference List; Screen
Quick Reference List; Greenwich/Zulu Conversion Chart


A sub-section heading looks like this:
1.2 Using the CENTRY Manual


A topic looks like this:
Primary Line Adjustment Period (PLAP)

number(s) or letter(s), depending on the preference of the FA.
n denotes a number.
Example: Pnnnn
x denotes a letter.
Example: Lxxx
hh denotes hours.
Example: PV(hh-hh)
mm denotes minutes.
Example: PD(hhmm-hhmm)

Reference Numbers
Each page of the CENTRY manual has a reference number that
corresponds with the Table of Contents and Index. Sections and sub-
sections are separated by a period. The page number is below the
reference.
This is Section 3, Sub-section 4, Page 2:
