Compute Mark Type Marks {SSTUD4-11}

This program is used to calculate Mark Type (MT) marks from Assessment marks according to the criteria defined in {SSTUD3-7b1}.

The system cycle ‘M’ must be open for the year, block and Offering Type to be calculated on {SMNT-2}. If the selection criteria includes one combination for which the cycle is not open, the program will print a message and abort execution.

The Restriction “SREC” under option {SMNT-5}, can control access to data in this option. This makes it possible to limit access to the updating of marks in respect of one person to one Faculty / Department and Campus only. Campus restriction is not mandatory.

The validation ‘PM’ determines if cancelled students’ assessment results will be computed. If ‘PM’ = ‘Y’, the cancelled students will be included. If ‘PM’ = ‘N’, the cancelled students will be ignored.

MT marks can also be entered directly using {SSTUD1-7}.

Changes made by this program will be written to a log file that can be printed using {SMNTL-6}. The user and the program name is also written to the log file.

Example:

Processing Rules
	Program call function i43_chk_ass_submit_bund from package i43pkg.sql and will give an error message: "No Mark Type Mark calculated for NNNNNNNNN - assessment submitted but without mark." OR "No Mark Type Mark calculated for NNNNNNNNN - assessment submitted but not in a bundle."
	The program lists all the students without assessment marks and gives a number of records updated. Students without marks but where an assessment weight exists. Error messag: "No Assessment Mark Entered for Student NNNNNNNNN Mark Type XX Assessment Number NNN but Weight Specified." Assessments without weights are ignored for the calculation and a message is printed. Error message: "Assessment Mark Entered for Student NNNNNNNNN Mark Type XX Assessment Number NNN but No Weight Specified, Set To Zero." Criteria is not entered on {SSTUD3-7} and error message will be ""WARNING No Weights or Best Number of Assessments for Mark Type XX, Group XX Assessment Number NNN Ignored for Calculation."
	If a student does not have a mark for an assessment with a weight specified, that assessment for the student will be ignored and the student not penalised (when the MT result is calculated the student will be penalised for sub-minimum values or compulsory assessments).
	Do not update the Mark Type Mark if no weights or assessment don't have a mark or assessment is submitted into a bundle.
	The program uses the "Best Number Of" assessments in preference to allocated weights.
	Exempted assessments have the following impact on the calculation of Mark Type marks: If an assessment is exempted and the rule on the mark type mark criteria on {SSTUD3-7} Tab Mark Type Criteria is set to calculate on ‘Best number of’ rule, the mark type mark is then calculate as follows: mark type mark = sum(assessment marks up to the best number of) / (BEST of value – count(exempt=Y)) If the assessment number is marked as EXEMPT=Y on {SSTUD1-2}, the assessment number is ignored in the sum of the assessment marks ‘Weights’ only, the mark type mark is then calculate as follows: Any assessment numbers for the mark type where the indicator EXEMPT= Y will be ignored. The mark type mark = sum(assessment mark * assessment weight)/sum(assessment weights) and the sum of the assessment weights does not include the weight of the exempted assessment or where the assessment mark is null.
