Rate Area Table

Functional Description of Table RATEAREA

Feature AU3279, LINEATTR SERVORD Enhancements, split table LINEATTR into three tables to make data management easier:

Table RATEAREA receives initial datafill in an One Night Process (ONP) from table LINEATTR.  If a specific tuple from table LINEATTR results in a tuple that exists in table RATEAREA, the tuple is not added to table RATEAREA and the RATEAREA key copies back to table LINEATTR.  If a specific tuple from table LINEATTR does not result in a tuple that exists in table RATEAREA, the tuple is added to table RATEAREA and the RATEAREA key copies back to table LINEATTR.  Note:  You can delete tuples in table RATEAREA that other tables do not reference.

The LINEATTR Compression Tool feature (59017776) checks for duplicate tuples during the ADD, CHA, and REP commands.  A warning message appears before the confirmation to provide an alert of a duplicate tuple.  The message only generates if table OFCVAR (Office Variables) parameter XLAPLAN_RATEAREA_SERVORD_ENABLED (XRSE) is set to MANDATORY_PROMPTS.  This warning does not prevent datafill validation.

			   or NIL              billing records are required for calls to numbers
			                       resulting in a type of call of NP (No Prefix),

					       datafilled in table MRSANAME field MRSA.  If MUMR
					       billing records are not required, enter "NIL".

                                               Calls to numbers resulting in a type of call

					       or Equal Access (EA) billing records instead of
					       MUMR billing records.

                                               A line does not have to be a message rate line,
