Version

Displays an eight-character protected field that tells you the version of the CA PMA Chargeback tables you are using. When you are creating or modifying CA PMA Chargeback data, characters five through eight appear as blanks. The Acctdefs panels are an exception. For these panels, Version appears as a four-character field. However, when you are creating or modifying CA PMA Chargeback data, these characters appear as blanks.

You must commit your data, if you are authorized, to make your changes effective on a specified CA PMA Chargeback database version. Or, arrange for your CA PMA Chargeback Administrator to commit your data.

ORD Type

The name (up to 3 alphanumeric characters) of the output record identifier you wish to create, view, or modify. If you do not know the ORD Type name, enter the SQL wildcard character %. This displays a list of all currently defined ORD Types that match the Charge Element you specify in the next field.

Note: If you enter an ORD Type that is not currently defined to the CA PMA Chargeback database, a message appears. Speak to the DataManager and CA PMA Chargeback Administrators to arrange for its definition.

Charge Element

Type the name of the charge element you want to create, view, or modify. The SQL wildcard character % is not required.
