Program Codes

There are different names for irregular program code, but they’re all the same thing.  PROGRAM-CODE, IRREGULAR-PROGRAM-CODE, and SPECIAL-PROGRAM-CODE are synonymous.  

Irregular programs are stored on both file 50 (returned from NRN$0002) and NR-PROGRAMS (file 68, returned via NRN$0015).  For some students, the code is on one, and for some it’s on the other or both.  If the irregular program is entered via an application for admission, it’s only on file 68 until the semester starts, then it’s updated on file 50.  If  there’s no Admissions involvement, for example with ESL students, then it’s only on file 50.
