Adding Record Type $C

Enter $C in this field to group data by categories.

This is a required field for setting up any data type. You can use an existing data type, or you can create a new data type by entering one or two characters for the code.

Enter 76A (Argentina) in this field to identify the system for the UDC that is related to the data type. This field works with the Record Type field to identify the code type table that the system uses to verify the data type. When you leave both fields blank, the system does not verify the data type.

For example, a valid code for data type SKILL (skills) must exist in the table for system 08 and code type SK. If you enter a skill code that is not in the table, the system displays an error message.

This field applies only to the code format (C) data types.

Enter LE in this field.

The Record Type and Product Code fields work together to associate a UDC table to the UDC (alias GDC1) field. The system uses the UDC table to verify data that you enter in the UDC (alias KY) field on the General Description Entry form.

For example, if you enter 08 in the Product Code field and SK in the Record Type field, the data that you enter in the UDC (alias KY) field on the General Description Entry form must exist in UDC table 08/SK.

If you leave the Record Type and Product Code fields blank, you can enter any data in the data entry field for the UDC (alias KY) column on the General Description Entry form.

This is an optional field for setting up supplemental data types in code format.
