Introduction › Move Request Progression › Move Cycle Control

Move Cycle Control

The Move Request field (Move Type) specifies the cycle in which the Move Request is processed. A Move Request is always processed by a single Move cycle. The letters A-Z and numerals 0-9 designate the cycle.

All Move Requests created before CA‑PanAPT Version 1.2 have a Move Type of M. A cycle designator has no meaning to CA‑PanAPT other than using the value of M as the default for Move Type and to provide for compatibility with previous versions of CA‑PanAPT.

Each Move Processing Cycle uses its own work data sets for APTMDLO to post status, release assignment, and select Move Requests. Therefore, each cycle is independent of every other cycle.

The Move Request status is kept in the CA‑PanAPT Pending file. Therefore, you can browse Move Requests from any cycle or cycles from the same panel.
