|  | |	Might anyone be able to help interpret these codes (business
|	segments) from a CIC or USCIC (Country Information Center) 
|	report.  I can guess what some of they are, but would like 
|	to see some explanation or legend. 
	I can give you a few of them.  Suggest you chat with local
	sales finance and/or ops.
	APSS
	BPS
	CL
	CON
	CSS = custom systems, like rackmount
	D/D
	DAS = Digital Assisted Services/self-maintenacne
	DCSS
	DNS

	FMS
	HPS = Hardware Product Services/break-fix maintenance
	INDEC = internal maintenance costs/revenue
	IPT

	OTHER EU = other end user
	SPG
	SPS = Software Product Support/software maintenance
	TPP
	TRNG = I believe this is training
	VOL = Volume accounts
|	Also I would like to map these catagories back to another report
|	that breaks the product mix by such groupings as
|	S/t Group MID RANGE VAX
|	S/t Group LOW END VAX
|	S/t Group VAXSTATIONS
|	S/t Group RISCSTATIONS
|	S/t Group PC's
|	S/t Group No CPU
	
|	The above report goes on and breaks these groups with the 
|	specific products such as for the first the MID RANGE VAX it
|	lists 6000 class machines.
|	Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
	Good thing these reports are user-friendly, eh?   ;^)

| 185.3 | good start | PTOVAX::PEARLMAN |  | Wed Feb 17 1993 13:12 | 5 | 
|  |     Thanks for the start.  It is the local people that are asking.  The one
    that seems to keep cropping up is IPT.
    
    Might anyone have any pointers to someone at the corporate level that
    might help.

|  | I may be rusty on some of these (I worked in Operations last year), but to check
or get the ones I can't I would suggest June Coolidge in MRO.

| 185.8 | all but IPT | PTOVAX::PEARLMAN |  | Fri Feb 19 1993 10:59 | 5 | 
|  |     Thanks for all the replies.  I even found a table somewhere that had
    most of them.  What we still can find is IPT.  On the table for IPT it
    says IPT.  We even have what appears to be certs for IPT.
    
    I'll try calling the pointers.
 | 
| 185.9 | IPT = TPL | PTOVAX::PEARLMAN |  | Mon Feb 22 1993 09:24 | 3 | 
|  |     Per June Coolidge, IPT is what was formerly called TPL, the Traditional
    Product Line.  These were the folks that refurbished the equipment 
    and then resold it.

|  |     Within Digital Services, D/D is Diagnostics & Documentation, not DecDirect
