Calling User Code

Several functions have parameters that you can mark for custom processing by selecting the User Code in the Zero Options field for a portion of the calculation.

Anywhere that this user code option appears, you can select it to have the system run your configured code to perform that part of the processing.

Two user code options are different:

• On the Plan Implementation page, you can insert user code modules directly into the calculation jobstream.

  This type of user code module is not associated with the system's core functions. It is a custom core function that you develop yourself. You set up this type of user code to access values from earlier in the jobstream. To make the results of the user code available later in the jobstream, the user code must create an entry in the alias table so that other calculation components can reference the results by the alias name.

• In the Define Calculation (CALCULATE_PENSION) component, a check box for loading external employee data is a user code option because you must write your own data loading procedure.
