Purpose

SubSystem

Normally Run By Enrolments Specialist
Anticipated Frequency As required
Structure Block Country Code

  

This form is used to record and maintain the institution defined set of Country Codes. These are comparable to Government Country Codes (DEST element 306) specified in the Data Dictionary of the DEST manual, but provide for greater flexibility with the ability to subdivide Government Codes and to use more meaningful codes. Each institution defined Country Code must be mapped to a Government Country Code. Country Codes are used to record person statistical details in the Maintain Person Statistical Details form (ENRF3060).

For example, the Government Country Code for Albania is S011, this function permits the definition of an institution defined code which will map to S011, for example, ALBANIA.

An institution may be interested in knowing the states within countries from which their students originate. This function permits the Government Country Code S302 - U.S.A. to be subdivided into states (ALASKA, CALIFORNIA etc.) which map back to S302.
