• Using Runstatus in COM.• Every audit run using that COM
contains same message at beginning of the body of the audit
• Runstatus of T displays TESTMESS – default language is WARNING: THE AUDIT IS CURRENTLY IN TEST STATUS
• Customize message by using COM setting TESTMESS – 50 byte field
Sample default appearance
Customized message - TESTMESS
HIDING REJECTED COURSES
• I want the Select from list to appear in the sub-requirement.
• I don’t want the Reject course to be listed separately in the Select from area of this one sub-requirement.
• Solution – set the Accept/Reject Control (SELRA) field to a value of R.
Requirement example

EXPORT TA TRICK
Ever want to export a single course, rather than all courses?
Export less than “all” of the courses by selecting “X Marked For Transfer” and save.
• On DA0001CP in ISRS, process as you would normally (Export=L)
• Only the course(s) you marked for transfer will be exported to ISRS.
