About REQCODE

The Required Deduction Code Header file contains the header information for deduction required codes. The system links the required codes to deductions by storing the required code in the Deduction file. When you add employees, the system uses the deduction required codes to automatically create Employee Deduction file records. PR03.1 (Deduction Required Code) is the primary program that updates this file. If the required code is not to be created for all employees, the system stores the detail selection criteria in the Required Code Select Criteria file.

Fields (5)

Column = COBOL field name without the RQC- prefix, hyphens → underscores. Derived fields are computed by the application and are not stored. PK = primary key (present in every index); SETn = leading/alternate key of that index.
