Sample escape sequences for supported W-2 formats:

Associated Numeric Values

1: Specifies the number of copies of the W-2 forms to print if extra copies are needed. Default is 1 copy.

2: Reserved for future use.

3: Override top margin adjustment. This value is ONLY USED IF the Override Switch on the Escape Sequence Screen is set to Y. Give the adjustment in decipoints (1/720th Inch) of the printing on the form. This number can be positive or negative - whole numbers only.

4: Specify the number of lines between items in Box 12. (Box 12 double spaced, single spaced, etc.) If double spaced (most common) enter a 2 here.

5: Used for W2 processing of students with no FICA/SS but with Medicare. When set to 1, position 219 of the W2FEDxxA file will contain an R, otherwise position 219 will contain a Q.

Associated Codes

1: Entering ROOT directs the system to always use the root entity (defined on PYUPGN) when extracting information for the W2 report and tape. Otherwise, the entity associated with the employee being processed is used.

2: MULTIPLE - use for multiple entities. This causes A and B records to contain information for the Root Entity. The E record will contain information for each individual entity. Default is SINGLE, meaning ROOT.

3: Specify Default PE Address Code or Address Hierarchy to be used in place of the addresses specified on the employee definition screen. To specify an address hierarchy, use a consecutive list of 2-character codes (PRHOX2 for example).

4: ASCII - save file in ASCII format. Default is BINARY.

5: Reserved for future use.

Associated Descriptions

1: NOZEROS - S Records that contain all zeros will not be printed.

2: NO ADDRESS SHIFT - This setting only applies when the employee address lines are pulled from a PE Database (see PEDB code on the employee master screen). There are two address lines and the normal process will shift address 1 to address 2 when address 2 is blank, clearing address 1. This common code will inactivate that behavior.

3-5: Reserved for future use.
