Understanding Data Retrieval Elements
In Global Payroll, you use data retrieval elements to retrieve data from the system.
There are six data retrieval elements included in the system:
System elements
Arrays
Brackets
Rate codes
Fictitious calculations
Historical rules
PeopleSoft defines and delivers system elements; you name and define the basic parameters of other elements, such as arrays and brackets.
Batch Processing
During processing, the system truncates data that is retrieved by system elements and arrays when the data exceeds these lengths:
Character fields: 30
Numeric fields: 12.6
