Standard Codes for Reports in Report Card Report Writer
Code
CR: 01 to 16
Description
COURSE: Enter a two-digit number from 01 to 16 to indicate which
course(s) to print, from course #1 to #16. Courses are always printed
in order by master course number. The numbers range from 001 to
999.
If you are in a course loop defined by the ~CRSSTART~ and
~CRSEND~ codes, using a course number of 99 indicates you want
to use the current course counter in the loop. A loop will be gone
through one time for each course. The code of 99 will become a 01
the first time through the loop and a 02 the second time through the
loop until all the courses are printed.
If printing by sections, the course number of 99 indicates to use the
current section.
A course number of 98 indicates to use the course found in a search.
For example, if you are doing an exact grade search for grades of “I”
for incomplete, then a course number of 98 indicates to use the
course that was found to have a grade of “I”.
CL: 01 to 13
COLUMN: Enter a two digit number from 01 to 13 to indicate the
report card column to print. Note that columns 12 and 13 are the
comment columns.
The special column code of 98 designates to use the column
indicated by specification #8, which designates the search column.
NUM
NUMBER: Indicates the number of spaces to allocate for codes that
are not numbers. For example, entering “12” for the NUM part of the
code that prints course names means to allocate 12 characters for
the course name. Names longer than 12 will be truncated, and
shorter than 12 will be padded with spaces.
If NUM=0, then the field is trimmed of leading and trailing spaces for
COURSE NAME, LEVEL, STAFF NAME and COLUMN NAMES.
This is useful when imbedding this information in letters.
### Indicates the format that a number will take. For example, “###.##”
means to print three digits before the decimal and two after.
