SCT Banner Financial Aid / Release Guide / 7.0

Section 6 Data Load Procedures
Additional Data Load Topics
The Sequence Number on all ISIR records is the same as the Transaction Number
in the record. All ISIR records have a transaction number. The Current Record
Indicator on ISIR records is always N.
Selections for the Load Option, Print Option, Recruiting Option, and Recalc Need Analysis
Option parameters are applied only to those students who already have a financial
aid application record for the current year.
For students with no existing applications in the current year, whose records are
being loaded to the database, the RCRTPxx program supplies the following
parameters.
Parameter Value Description
03 Load Option for Need Analysis 1 Load as current record
06 Need Analysis Print Option N Do not print Discrepancy Report
08 Recalc Need Analysis Option The same value as selected for
this parameter in EDE Data
Load, Part 1 (RCBTPxx) or CSS
Data Load, Part 1 (RCBCTxx)
For example, if the option for Parameter 3 were to load all records as non-current,
the process could only load those records as non-current for those students who
already had a current record in SCT Banner for that aid year. If there is not a current
record for the aid year, then SCT Banner will load the new record as current. There
would be no need for the discrepancy report to print anything on this student, as
there is no old data with which to compare.
New Person Versus Existing Person
If a person record exists in SCT Banner at the time of Data Load, Data Load Part 3
(RCRTPxx) does not update fields on that person record except for fields specified
in RCRTPxx parameters 16, 17, 18, 19. If no person record exists, and you decide to
load New records, a new person record is created with data from the incoming
record as shown below:
Any element with an asterisk (*) on the following tables must have an SCT Banner
Conversion Value on the Interface Data Translation Rules Form (RCRTPTR).
