Micro Super-Selection Parameter File (ES2MSSP (ES2RUP))
ES2MSSP (ES2RUP) - Length 500 - Revised 2/14/2018
Columns | Len | Key | Type | COBOL Field Name | Description & Notes | |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | Key | Char | MSSP-REC-TYPE | Indicator showing the type of parameters represented by this record; always set to 'M' for Micro Super-selection Parameter record type |
| 2 | 5 | 4 | Key | Char | MSSP-REC-ID | Micro record selection parameter set identification code; eventually, this will be a user-enterable field; for now it is a constant, set to 'MSSP' |

| 50 | 52 | 3 | Char | MSSP-YYQ | Year/quarter of quarterly data represented in the selection set (breakout below); if left blank, current quarter will be offered as a default during data selection | |
| 50 | 51 | 2R | Num | MSSP-YR | 2-digit year portion of yr/qtr identifier (numeric or blank) | |
| 52 | 52 | 1R | Num | MSSP-QTR | Quarter used for quarterly data (1-4 or blank) | |
| 53 | 53 | 1 | Char | MSSP-REPORT-OPTION | Report option type, a field designed to mimic the 20D report option; this is a pseudo-option, however, since it must always be set to '1' (firm-list type report) | |
| 54 | 54 | 1 | Char | MSSP-WAGE-SW | Option to include total wage data in the firm list report (Y/N) | |
| 55 | 55 | 1 | Char | MSSP-EMP-SW | Option to include employment data in the firm list report (Y/N) | |
| 56 | 102 | 47 | Char | MSSP-PARM-LINE(1) | First line of selection parameters, broken out into the fields shown below | |
| 56 | 56 | 1R | Char | MSSP-ANDOR(1) | Linkage (not used) between this line and the one before (which doesn't exist, since this is the first line); check other "ANDOR" fields later to see how this field is used in subsequent occurrences of this table | |
| 57 | 61 | 5R | Char | MSSP-FIELD(1) | Field identifier code for base comparison in this line; standard codes are those listed in the ES2N (Job 040D) documentation; this field with remain blank if a micro record offset value is supplied instead of a field ID (shown in MSSP-BPOS below) | |
| 62 | 62 | 1R | Char | MSSP-FLD-QTR(1) | Quarter identifier to accompany the field identifier code above; blank unless applied to a quarter-specific data item; valid values for quarterly items are- '1' (future), '2' (current), '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8' (successively farther back historical quarters), 'F' (future), 'C' (current) or 'P' (prior) quarter | |

| 64 | 67 | 4R | Char | MSSP-BPOS(1) | First character position in the base comparison field; this value is found from a table when the field ID is entered, or drawn directly from the entry when a numeric value is substituted for the field ID entry | |
| 68 | 69 | 2R | Char | MSSP-LENGTH(1) | Number of characters to be checked in this comparison; this will either be the entire length of the field, or the number of characters entered into a comparison string, or the length of the other compared field (when comparing one field against another), whichever is smaller | |
| 70 | 70 | 1R | Char | MSSP-FLD-TYPE | Field type code, noting whether the data needs to receive special treatment because it is packed or binary format, or has embedded sub-fields; these can require further specialization for decimal placement, structure (date, census block, longitude/latitude, tax rate, etc.); 'B' = Census block fields; 'C' = Computational (binary) field; 'D' = packed-decimal date field (year/month/day); 'L' = Longitude/latitude (comp); 'N' = Standard numeric field; 'P' = Packed numeric; 'X' = Character (alpha/numeric) field | |
| 71 | 72 | 2R | Char | MSSP-COMPARE-CODE(1) | Comparison code used to match against the comparison field, value or range in the remaining fields of this occurrence; when comparing against a single value or another field, any of the following values can be used – 'CT', 'EQ', 'GE', 'GT', 'LE', 'LT', 'NE', '()', '<', '<=', '=', '>', '>=', '<>'; when using a range of values, the only valid comparators are for equal (i.e., within the range ('=' or 'EQ')) or not-equal (i.e., outside the range ('<>' or 'NE')); the other values (less-than, greater-than, etc.,) have no meaning for a range-of-values comparison | |
| 73 | 87 | 15R | Char | MSSP-COMP-VALUE(1) | Value for comparison against the base field; must meet the specifications of the field to which it is compared; for instance, a date field must have a date comparison value, and a numeric field can not be compared against alphabetic characters; the ES2N entry screen will reformat the entered field as much as possible | |

Micro Super-Selection Parameters File (from Roll-up Parameters File) Data Set Name: WS.ES202.ROLLUP.PARMS Service Center DSN: YBUssX.A145.ROLLUP.PARMS, ('ss' = State FIPS code) Type of File: VSAM indexed File Layout: ES2MSSP CICS ID: ES2RUP (standard); EssRUP (Service Center; ss=State) The Micro Super-Selection Parameters sets are stored and updated within the ES2N series of screens, to establish selection parameters for Job 040D runs. It is a spin-off from the 020D parameter screen (which uses the ES2MISP parameter layout). Innumerable sets of parameters may be stored in the file, and up to nine sets of parameters can be selected for any Job 040D run. Unlike most other ES2N screens, however, the parameter entries only specify the request ID's (at the beginning of this record). The parameters themselves, as related in this file, are maintained by a sub-screen of ES2N, accessed either by requesting new parameters (with the PF5 key), or by selecting one or more of the request ID's listed on the screen (for update actions). | ||||||
