Agency/Agent Information
Agents may market and administer the products for a number of
companies within their corporate structure. Each of these companies can
operate separately, and an agent may sell the products of more than one
company.
The DC Unload job - Unloads or Restores the Data Collect file (DSSDC) depending on
the control card used.
If UNLD is used in the control card, the Data Collect is read and valid transactions are
written to the Online Transaction File (BACKUP). The transaction’s bucket is added on the
Control File Record and two reports; a Valid Transaction Report and a Transaction Count
Report are produced. Valid transactions are kept on Copybook CIOOOTF1 and are
neither deleted or revised. The Online Transaction file is used by the Commission Split
Job.
If INIT is used, a 4O8O sized record with all low-values is written to the Online transaction
file (BACKUP) and copied into a Data Collect file.
If RELD is used, all records on the transaction file (BACKUP) are written to the Data
Collect file (DSSDC).
