Flags (Column 18)
The field EMP_FLAG (column 18) is a twenty-character field allowing for twenty, general purpose, employee flags with these characteristics:
- The first character represents EMP_FLAG1, the second represents EMP_FLAG2, and so on.
- Only flags that are used are
required in the flag string value. For example, if five flags are required, the
flag string should be as follows:
YNNYY
- A space in one of the flag
positions indicates that processing is not required for that flag. For example,
if EMP_FLAG2 should not be processed, the flag string should be as follows:
Y NYY
- An ampersand (&) in one
of the flag positions indicates that the flag should be empty. For example, if
there should be no value in EMP_FLAG2, the flag string should be as follows:
Y&NYY
