• In Trial Mode, no records are inserted into the hr_slrytble_mstr table.
• In Live Mode, if a detail record fails, the system does not insert a master record even if the master record is good.
• A leading zero is only added to numeric steps 0-9 including fraction values. For instance, "0" = "00" and "2.3" = "02.3". A step with a character in it or a value of 10 or more is not modified.
• The system generates a salary index value and compares that value to the value in the data file. If there is a mismatch, an error is displayed and the record fails.

1. The code for hr_emppay table now rounds the pcn_effort value to prevent calculation errors.
2. If a numeric column of type smallint, int, or integer is blank in the insert or update mode, it will be skipped. Other numeric columns that are blank in the data file will result in a zero in the HR record.
