Notes

1 Field attributes:

Field name Code Derived from
HOMEEUOS 1 (Home) XDOMHM01 = 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5
2 (EU) XDOMHM01 = 6
3 (Overseas) XDOMHM01 = 7
4 (Not known) XDOMHM01 = 8
DORMANT 1 (Dormant) XINACT01 = 1
0 (Not Dormant) XINACT01 = 0
CENSUS Dec (December Census) Instance.ENDDATE >= 01-AUG-Y1 and Instance.ENDDATE <= 31-OCT-Y1
Mar (March Census) Instance.ENDDATE >= 01-NOV-Y1 and Instance.ENDDATE <= 31-JAN-Y2
Jun (June Census) Instance.ENDDATE >= 01-FEB-Y2 and Instance.ENDDATE <= 30-APR-Y2
Sep (September Census) Instance.ENDDATE >= 01-MAY-Y2 and Instance.ENDDATE <= 31-JUL-Y2

2 Multiple InstancePeriod entities can be returned within an Instance and each InstancePeriod can have up to two QualificationsAwarded entities associated with it.

  • If more than one InstancePeriod exists for the Instance use the latest one returned (the one with the latest InstancePeriod.PERIODSTART date. Uniqueness of PERIODSTART within Instance is enforced by schema).
  • If only one QualificationsAwarded.QUAL exists for the InstancePeriod, it is recorded in the QUAL1 field and the second qualification field (QUAL2) will be blank.

3 The XJACSLEV101, XJACSLEV201 and XJACSLEV301 fields are derived from the CourseSubject entity which will always have at least one occurrence and may have up to 3 (this is enforced in Cyy054 schema). The derived fields are held in the Cyy054_SJ table and each Instance.INSTANCEKEY will link to the table between 1 and 3 times. Consequently, XJACSLEV101_1, XJACSLEV201_1 and XJACSLEV301_1 will always be populated but XJACSLEV101_2, XJACSLEV201_2, XJACSLEV301_2 and XJACSLEV101_3, XJACSLEV201_3, XJACSLEV301_3 may not be.

4 The latest InstancePeriod (that is the one in the Instance with the latest InstancePeriod.PERIODSTART date) contains InstancePeriod.COURSEID. This should be used to link to the Course entity to obtain the Course fields.
