Section 4 - Problem ResolutionsSample ReportsOn SOTCNVT, the following tables are validated: NATN, CITZ, STAT, INTS, INTP (PSAT only), ETHN, ETHR (AMCASonly), DEGC, DEGA (AMCAS only), MAJR, MAJP (PSAT only), RELG, CNTY, TADM, TERM, DEPT, VTYP, EDLV, EGOL,ADMT (AMCAS only), TEAC (AMCAS only), TEFR (AMCAS only), SBGI (college code conversions), SBGH (high schoolcode conversions), HGPA (SAT only), CAMP, ESEL, GNDR, TESC, and TSPT.The exceptions for determining conversions and default values are for the major code, interest code, term code, level code,campus code, contact type code, source code, address type code, email type code, and telephone code. SRTLOAD willappropriately analyze the high school or prior college graduation date on the incoming file against rules on SOTCNVT todetermine the term code, or it will use the term code entered in the SRTLOAD Term Code parameter.If there is no match, the value from the Term Code parameter is used. The level code, address type code, telephone type code,and email code inserted will always be from the input parameter value. If no source code or contact type code are entered inthe input parameters, the value from STVINFC for the interface will be used. In addition, the test score source inserted ontest scores will be the one created on STVINFC.The fields INTS and MAJR can have multiple values in multiple fields for some types of tape loads. The * and DEFAULTfunctionality will only work on the first match attempt for the field MAJR(MAJR1). If there are values in fields MAJR2, MAJR3,or MAJR4, the process will attempt to match the values against the SOTCNVT crosswalk and the values in STVMAJR. If nomatch is found for these, the output report will display an error indicating the field and the error. INTS will not use the * orthe DEFAULT functionality due to the possibility of many records existing on the incoming data file.High school codes can be converted using the SBGH validation on SOTCNVT. If there is no high school conversion onSOTCNVT, the STVSBGI code will be used if there is a match. Non-high school codes cannot be entered using the SBGHvalidation on SOTCNVT. Colleges codes can be converted on SOTCNVT with SBGI validation, and if a code exists inSTVSBGI, that code will be loaded.The default values on SRAPRED are used when there are no SOTCNVT values and if the corresponding parameter onSRTLOAD is blank. When there are no SOTCNVT values and if the corresponding parameter on SRTLOAD is blank,SRTLOAD will first use the data that exists on the incoming tape for such fields as Term, Major, etc. If no value exists on thefile, and it does not convert on SOTCNVT, then SRTLOAD will use the data in the parameter. If no value exists in theparameter, SRTLOAD will use the value on SRAPRED. The Test Source will default in from STVINFC.

Section 4 - Problem ResolutionsSample ReportsContact Type fields will be populated from STVINFC if there are no corresponding SRTLOAD parameter values. If no valuesexist on STVINFC, the values will default from SRAPRED where appropriate.When data is loaded to <strong>Banner</strong>, the load hierarchy is as follows:• Values from SOTCNVT will be loaded first, if they exist.• Values from the SRTLOAD parameters will be loaded second, if they have been entered.• Values from STVINFC (contact type and/or source code) will be loaded third, if they exist, and if valid parameter valuesdo not exist on SRTLOAD.• Values from SRAPRED will be loaded fourth, if they exist.Note:For AMCAS, the student type will always need to be updated on SRAPRED for the level for which you are runningSRTLOAD, in order for the required <strong>Student</strong> Type value to be loaded for the applicant.When matching nation codes, if no code exists on the tape and a nation description is provided, the nation description willbe compared against the nation description in STVNATN. If there is an exact match, the nation code will be updated in theSRTNATN temporary table and can be loaded to <strong>Banner</strong>.For example, when no SOTCNVT rules exist for STVNATN and the nation description is provided on the tape:• Nation Singapore on tape will be translated and update SRTADDR_NATN_CODE = 133 when STVNATN code 133 = Singapore.• Nation Mexico on tape will be translated and update SRTADDR_NATN_CODE = 99 when STVNATN code 99 = Mexico.• Nation Albania on tape will be translated and update SRTADDR_NATN_CODE = 2 when STVNATN code 2 = Albania.• However, Bahamas on tape would not be translated, as STVNATN code 10 = The Bahamas.Note: This nation code will be loaded to Street Line 3, and there will be associated API errors because of the nation andthe state. The record would need to be resolved manually on GOAMTCH prior to loading.<strong>Student</strong> <strong>Release</strong> <strong>7.3.2</strong> February 2007133 <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> Confidential
