1999-2000 Quick Reference Guide to Program Return Codes

Institutions using JCL created during their user initiation session will probably not need to know the individual return codes produced by each of the System's programs. Those institutions, however, that choose to write their own JCL streams or who will need to heavily customize the JCL streams produced by the System will need to know the return codes that are generated. The following table lists these return codes and their significance.

Quick Reference Guide to Program Parameters

This list is provided as an easy reference to the meaning of parameters used in the FASTER programs. An "*" indicates those values which must be supplied by the user, e.g., they are not generated by the System when the jcl is generated.

Program Parm
Begin
Column		 Parm
Length		 Parameter Values
       
SRTS01 1 1 Error file processing:
  "P" = Error print report only
  "B" = Both print report and error record file
       
SRTS02 1 10 Record selection:
  "CURRENT" = Select new request records
  "RETRANSMIT" = Select records already delivered
  11 8 Beginning date (MMDDYYYY or blanks)
  19 8 Ending date (MMDDYYYY or blanks)
  27 7 Sending institution*
  If filled in, allows specification by sending institution of rows to be retrieved
       
SRTS03 1 1 Error file processing:
  "P" = Error print report only
  "B" = Both print report and error record file
       
SRTS04 1 3 Sending type:
  "INT" = Interdistrict
  "SEC" = Secondary
  "PST" = Postsecondary
  "ALL" = Interdistrict, Secondary, Postsecondary
  "AAA" = Automated Admission Applications
  "ALA" = Interdistrict, Secondary, Postsecondary, and Automated Admission Applications
  4 10 Record selection:
  "CURRENT" = Select new request records

  14 8 Beginning date (MMDDYYYY or blanks)
  22 8 Ending date (MMDDYYYY or blanks)
  30 7 Sending institution*
  If filled in, allows specification by sending institution of rows to be retrieved
  37 1 Rejected Responses Messages*
  When an institution's attempt to send a student record is rejected due to errors, a header record is written to the addressed institution with a message type of X01 indicating a failed attempt to send. This parameter is used to limit the returned records with regard to X01 messages.
  "X" = Return only X01 messages.
  "R" = Return non-X01 messages.
  blank = Return all records regardless of Message Type.
       
SRTS12IS 1 8 Program name = SRTS12IS
  9 1 Output type*:
  "P" = Prints the permanent record/transcript
  Blank = Prints the permanent record/transcript and Category B data
  10 3 Number of printed lines per page*
  This is a three digit number or blanks --the default is 049--and specifies the number of lines per page that will have print on them. Actually, this will be 1 line more than the number of printed lines per page, since the program leaves the first line blank as a top margin. When the default is used, the printed output will fit on 8.5" X 11" paper, if your printer is set to print 6 lines per inch. Use 065 if you are printing at 8 lines per inch. The minimum value is 043 while the maximum is 106 printed lines per page.
  13 1 Number of banner pages to print when school number changes:
  Blank = No banners are printed
  1 = 1 banner page is printed
  2 = 2 banner pages are printed
  3 = 3 banner pages are printed
  . . .
  9 = 9 banner pages are printed

  Blank = do not suppress
  "S" = suppress
       
SRTS12P 1 8 Program name = SRTS12P
  9 3 Number of printed lines per page*
  This is a three digit number or blanks --the default is 049--and specifies the number of lines per page that will have print on them. Actually, this will be 1 line more than the number of printed lines per page, since the program leaves the first line blank as a top margin. The number of lines you select will depend on the type of printer you use and the printer font you specify. Experiment with this parameter to find the value that is best for you. The minimum value is 043 while the maximum is 106 printed lines per page.
  12 1 Flag to print course credit/GPA totals by term, school and division (CC or Univ)
  Blank = do not print
  "C" = print course credit totals
  13 1 Number of banner pages to print when school number changes:

SRTS12CC 1 8 Program name = SRTS12C
  9 3 Number of printed lines per page*
  This is a three digit number or blanks --the default is 049--and specifies the number of lines per page that will have print on them. Actually, this will be 1 line more than the number of printed lines per page, since the program leaves the first line blank as a top margin. The number of lines you select will depend on the type of printer you use and the printer font you specify. Experiment with this parameter to find the value that is best for you. The minimum value is 043 while the maximum is 106 printed lines per page.
  12 1 Flag to print course credit/GPA totals by term, school and division (CC or Univ)
  Blank = do not print
