Quick Reference Guide to Program Return Codes

Institutions using JCL created during their user initiation session will probably not need to know the individual return codes produced by each of the System's programs. Those institutions, however, that choose to write their own JCL streams or who will need to heavily customize the JCL streams produced by the System will need to know the return codes that are generated. The following table lists these return codes and their significance.

Quick Reference Guide to Program Parameters

This list is provided as an easy reference to the meaning of parameters used in the FASTER programs. An "*" indicates those values which must be supplied by the user, e.g., they are not generated by the System when the jcl is generated.

  "SEC" = Secondary
  "PST" = Postsecondary

  30 7 Sending institution*

  37 1 Rejected Responses Messages*
  When an institution's attempt to send a student record is rejected due to errors, a header record is written to the addressed institution with a message type of X01 indicating a failed attempt to send. This parameter is used to limit the returned records with regard to X01 messages.
  "X" = Return only X01 messages.
  "R" = Return non-X01 messages.
  blank = Return all records regardless of Message Type.
       
SRTS12IS - Interdistrict and Secondary Print Responses

  "P" = Prints the permanent record/transcript
  Blank = Prints the permanent record/transcript and Category B data
  10 3 Number of printed lines per page*
  This is a three digit number or blanks --the default is 049--and specifies the number of lines per page that will have print on them. Actually, this will be 1 line more than the number of printed lines per page, since the program leaves the first line blank as a top margin. When the default is used, the printed output will fit on 8.5" X 11" paper, if your printer is set to print 6 lines per inch. Use 065 if you are printing at 8 lines per inch. The minimum value is 043 while the maximum is 106 printed lines per page.
