SYIN - mask

Client Specific Parameters
Used by SY300 to store client specific parameters for a given mask. This is only used now to store budget version for GLBUUP and / or other client specific budget update masks.
Since masks can be more than eight characters, SY300 will look for a match on the last part of the mask in the five codes. If we still do not have a match we will put a two-digit number at the end of the common code starting with 01 and incrementing to a maximum of 99 until either we find a match or no common code is found.
The following describes each data item on NUUPCD which applies to the definition of a terminal type. This code has no effect on BusinessPLUS.
Code Category: SYIN
Code Value: (mask) or (mask) nn where nn is a two-digit number in the 7th and 8th position.
Note: If <Mask>nn is used, nn must being with 01 and continue in sequence. SY300 will not process any common codes not in sequence.
Short Description: If set to OFF is the same as the common code not existing.
Medium Description: Up to 30 characters that may be used to document the purpose of the common code.
Long Description: Up to 72 characters that may be used to document the purpose of the common code.
Associated Numeric Values
1-5: Reserved for future use.
Associated Codes
1-5: Rest of the mask if needed. This code must be left blank if not needed
Associated Descriptions
1-5: The parameter values. For GLBUUP type masks, this would be a list of four budget versions to place in each of the columns.
Example:
My mask is GLUTCSABBU - a special client specific update for ABC company. We will first look for the common code:
SYIN GLUTCSAB and look in the five codes for BU.
If we do not find a match, we then look for common code:
SYIN GLUTCS01 and look in the five codes for ABBU. Then...
SYIN GLUTCS02 and look in the five codes for ABBU. Then...
SYIN GLUTCS03 and look in the five codes for ABBU.
And so on until we either a) find a match, b) there is no common code, or c) we reach 99.
If a match is found we use the corresponding Associated Description to use as the parameters.
