National Benchmark Test (M)atch, (U)pload, (D)ownload en (P)rint Report 


This program may be used to (M)atch the students on {SNAPPA-3} Academic Applications and then insert a record on {SNAPNBT-2} or it may be used to (D)ownload the matched students to send back to NBT for them to load test results, or (U)pload the test results for an external *csv file. The (D)ownload  file may also be extracted into an Excel file by selecting the stylesheet TXT2XLS.


The File path and directory must be set up on {SNAPNBT-6} as follows:


The Restriction type(access type) 'NBTR' must be defined for each user.

If the user is not linked to the Faculty or Department and Qualification that the student is linked to in {SNAPPA-1/3} for the restriction ‘NBTR’, he/she may not use this option. The Qualification may be null. If access is not allowed, an error message will be displayed.


Set up the SOD NB/RE on {SMNT-12} to define the exclusion status code to be linked to the student. If the test is defined as mandatory on {SNAPNBT-1} Tab Qualification Mandatory, and the program is run for the (M)atching option, a Exclusion Status Code will be inserted into {SREGL-2}. The specific code used will be determined by the SOD 'NB' for subsystem 'RE' on {SMNT-12}.

When all mandatory test results are loaded the end date of the exclusion status will be updated with System Date when (U)pload is run.
