~SECTION~
~MAJOR~
~MINOR~
~TMARG:X.X~
~TABLE1~
~TABLE3XY~
~TABLE5~
Description
Use as the first line in a report if printing one report card per student per
course sorted by teacher. If the student does not have the current
section in their transcript, the student will be skipped. To convert a
report designed to print one report card per student per course sorted
by STUDENT to one sorted by TEACHER, remove the ~CRSSTART~
and ~CRSEND~ codes and make the section code the first line of the
report. Then print the report using the section option from the main
window.
When this code is placed on the line directly after the ~CRSSTART~
code, it causes the course loop to print ONLY Major courses. Major and
Minor courses are defined using the “Priority” setting in the Enter
Courses program. See “Priority” on page 2-7.
When this code is placed on the line directly after the ~CRSSTART~
code, it causes the course loop to print ONLY Minor courses. Major and
Minor courses are defined using the “Priority” setting in the Enter
Courses program. See “Priority” on page 2-7. Using the ~MAJOR~ and
~MINOR~ codes in conjunction with separate course loop codes will
enable you to list major and minor courses separately on students’
transcripts.
Sets a margin for any ~TABLE~ code. Without this tab code, all tables
start on the left margin. Use this code to indent “X.X” amount of spaces.
Prints bottom GPA & update info. The GPA information that goes on
the bottom of report cards may be built manually, code by code, to give
you increased flexibility. It is much simpler, however, to use the
TABLE1 code.
Prints the body of a transcript sorted by department. X is replaced by a
“R”, “L” or “S” to indicate how each course will be printed: with the final
grade on the RIGHT or LEFT or if a SEMESTER label should be
printed. Y is replaced by a “W” for blank wide paper, an “F” for forms or
an “N” for blank narrow paper. “P” now indicates preprinted narrow
forms.
Allows you to print failure letters that include a list of only those courses
containing a failing grade. Previously, you had to produce a separate
letter for each failing course or include a a table containing all courses
and their grades. ~TABLE5~ works the same as ~TABLE2~, except
that it only includes courses matching range/exact search parameters.
See “Print a Letter for Each Course Within the Search Range” on
page 7-9.
