Processing
Rules
  
    The program calculates the subject credits as a percentage of total credits required
Depending on the choice of credits to use the following total credits are use to calculate the percentage:

User credit choice Total required credits used Where is Total Credits defined?
1. Stats credits from the curriculum The formal time on the approved qualification record {SACADO-1} in the field  'Minimum Formal Time'
2. National credits from the subject definition The total national credits on the  qualification definition {SACADO-1} in the field 'National Total Credits'
3. National credits from the subject definition The minimum creditunits for graduation on the  qualification definition {SACADO-1} in the field 'Minimum Credit Units for Graduation'
  The progam counts the number of subjects with a (possible) pass result as:
  • The subjects with a pass result or that is exempted
  • Subjects enrolled for without a result and not cancelled.
  The input parameter 'Should the Percentage Test be Used in Selection of Students':

Answer Result
Yes The program compares the subject credits with (100 - percentage entered). If the student's subject credits are less than (100 - the percentage entered), the student is excluded from the program

Example
:
The user enters a value of 10. The percentage credits to compare to is (100-10) = 90.
Student A has a number of credits equal to 89. He/She will be excluded from the report.
Student B has a number of credits equal to 90. He/She will be included in the output.
No The program compares the number of subjects passed/exempted and without a results to the minimum subjects required for graduation as defined in {SSTUD3-3} Tab 'Qualification Information' in the field 'Number of Subjects to Qualify - Minimum'.

If the student's number of subjects is less than the value in the minimum required field, the student will be excluded from the report.
  If the student has more subjects than the value in the maximum field in the option mentioned above, the string of characters '**************' will be printed under the heading 'Outside Limits' on the report.

This string of characters will also be printed for other values where the student has either more or less than the required value.
