Rules
    
      1.  General overview: 

1.1.  This program will be used to create subject records against the applicant's record to enable the
implementation of subject exemptions in the standard programs. 

1.2.  The new subject, grade and symbol combinations defined in the table will be created for the applicant for the same matric type and sitting as the first subject's information. If the subject does not exist, the matric sitting and type on IADBIO for the applicant will be used.

1.3.  The user will enter these alternate subjects into the entry requirement rules as alternatives to the official subjects.

1.4.  The user must enter a grade / symbol combination for the new subject that does not carry a score value.  This will prevent the use of this new (dummy) subject when calculating the applicant's score.
