Description
GRADES: Number grades are right justified, letter grades are
padded to 2 if no plus or minus is used and then also right justified.
Letter grades will be allocated the number of spaces indicated by the
length of the “###”. This grade will print only if the specification on
Page 3 of Report Cards Report Writer is set to “Yes”. For example,
~!GR999901:###~ will print the column one grade (CL=1) for the
year in the specification setting (YR=99) for the current course in the
course loop (CR=99). Three spaces will be allocated (###) for the
grade.
GRADES: This code is similar to the one on the previous page, but it
prints the grade AFTER it has been adjusted by the GPA factor. This
code only works for number grades, and was added to allow a school
to juxtapose both adjusted and non-adjusted grades. See “GPA
Factor” on page 2-8.
COURSE NAME: The course name will automatically print on the
report card or transcript. It can be found and modified in Enter
Courses, View/Edit Courses & Sections. The NAME is maximum 10
characters long.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course description is found and
modified in the Enter Courses, View/Edit Courses & Sections. The
description can be up to 35 characters long. For example,
~!ND9999:25~ will print a course description up to 25 characters
long. If there is no description entered for a course in View/Edit
Courses & Sections, the course name will print instead. This code is
often used on wide reports.
COURSE LEVEL: If this code is used in a report, a specification in
the Report Cards Report Writer will determine if the course level
will/will not print on a report.
STAFF NAME: If this code is used in a report, a specification in the
Report Cards Report Writer will determine if the staff will/will not print
on a report.
COLUMN TITLE: XX=03, 05, 25 for which name to use. For example,
~!TI0501:6~ indicates the five character name (XX=05) for the first
column (CL=01) and to allocate it 6 spaces. If this code is used in a
report, a specification in the Report Cards Report Writer will
determine if the title of the column will/will not print on a report.
