Command Code MFTRA Input Example — "Batch" Entry and Use of "L" Line Repeat

Data can be entered on lines 2 through 23. Line 24 is reserved for error messages. The line repeat indicator "L" is used to repeat the Receiver Employee Number and the Name/Remarks field when entering multiple requests; both fields must be input when using the line repeat indicator "L" . When using the "L" , the fields will be generated for each subsequent request on the screen unless both fields are changed by the operator. To change the Receiver Employee Number and/or Name/Remarks field on any line subsequent to the "L" line, you must re-enter both fields. In addition, you cannot use the Repeat Indicator "R" to repeat the Receiver Employee Number and/or Name/Remarks field on any request following an "L" line until both fields have been changed, voiding the previous "L" line repeat indicator.

Not using "L" example — five transcript requests are generated.
