PERS - MATCH

This common code is used to determine how history records are to be matched with corresponding pay assignments. This is necessary to derive rates and other position-based information. This common code can be used to define up to five pay string parts to compare and see if they match. If they do, then a match is returned and the values of that pay assignment are used in association with that history record. Once the Pay String part is identified, the user also has the ability to define a substring if necessary association with that history record. Once the Pay String part is identified, the user also has the ability to define a substring if necessary.
