Code<br />

~COMPARx~<br />

Description<br />

Allows comment paragraphs (narratives) to be printed directly on<br />

report cards or progress reports. In addition, you can now use the new<br />

code ~COMPARx~ (where x is any report card column 1-11) to print<br />

the narrative comments for a specific grading column. Teachers may<br />

enter these comment paragraphs either with GradeQuick electronic<br />

grade book or with their own word processing program. The comment<br />

must be in a directory called “\RS4COM”, which must be a folder on the<br />

root of the drive containing Administrator’s <strong>Plus</strong>. Each comment must<br />

be its own ASCII file. If you are using GradeQuick, comments may be<br />

entered by highlighting a student’s name and pressing the F2 key.<br />

When importing grades from GradeQuick, these comment paragraphs<br />

are placed in the RS4COM directory. If you do not have an RS4COM<br />

directory, one is created for you. If you are using a word processing<br />

program like Microsoft Word to create your comment paragraphs, save<br />

each comment as an ASCII file with a name such as 1210112.005. The<br />

file must be named as follows: The first 3 characters are the course<br />

number, in this case “121”, followed by a 2-digit section number, in this<br />

case “01”; The next 2 characters are the student’s grade level, in this<br />

case “12”, then a period followed by the student’s ID number.<br />

<strong>Report</strong>s #6, #7, #36 and #37 have the ~COMPAR~ code in them.<br />

These reports will incorporate the comment paragraph when printing<br />

one report card per course per student. (<strong>Report</strong>s #6 & #7 print these<br />

report cards sorted by student while reports #36 and #37 print them<br />

sorted by teacher.) When the ~COMPAR~ code is encountered,<br />

REPORT CARDS PLUS checks the RS4COM directory for a comment<br />

for the current course for the current student. If it is found, it is printed.<br />

Otherwise, the space is left blank.<br />

~DESCRIPTION<br />

:XX~<br />

Put this code near the beginning of a transcript report to force any CL<br />

codes to print XX characters of the course description, if there is one,<br />

instead of the course name.<br />
