ALLOCATION OF SUBSCIBER NUMBERS FOR TELECOMMUNICATION USING INFORMIX - 4GL

The paper aims at creating an application for allo cating numbers for a telecom company. The service provider gets the prefix from a regulatory body like TRAI. Based on that prefix the service provider has to generate its numbers. After the numbers are generated it has to be transferred specifically to var ious domains like prepaid and postpaid from where they are allotted to customers. This application will take care of number allocation process as well. The system also assigns a colour to the number. Colour is defined by the easy remembrance pattern present in the number. Really good numbers are given gold status, (e.g. 08281000000), then silver - not quite as go od , then bronze - not so good again. Anything else will be assigned as normal number. The system must prevent from generating numbers which are already allocated i.e., the numbers which are in use, by any other instance should not be available for use in future.
