Update Incorrect Subject STATS Indicator {SREGS-6}

This option should be used with the extreme care and only under the circumstances described below.

In order to handle re-examinations or supplementary examinations correctly in respect of STATS reporting, the STATS indicator on a subject is used for reporting on Table 2.9. When a subject is registered for the first time in an academic year, the STATS indicator is (Y)es. The registration of the subject for re-examination purposes may not be counted again for STATS reporting and the indicator is set to (N)o.

This STATS indicator cannot be changed or entered by the user. The standard system programs will automatically apply the correct rules when a subject is registered.

This program re-calculates the STATS indicator as follows:

The first occurrence of a subject registration for a student in the indicated STATS cycle is marked with a ‘Y’ in the STATS indicator field. All subsequent occurrences of registrations for the same subject by the student in the indicated STATS cycle are marked with a ‘N’ in the STATS indicator field

The reasoning is that subsequent registration for the same subject by a student is for examination purposes only.

If this is not the case, e.g. subjects offered in the first semester are again offered in the second semester for students who failed the first semester examination, with the students attending class, this option should not be executed.
