FIELD NAME           DESCRIPTION/VALID VALUES                    UPDATED BY

SWS-REPORT-NAME      Alpha 20
Report Name

SWS-OR-GROUP         Alpha 1
Or Group             This field determines how attribute
                     information is grouped by creating an
                     and/or condition. The "and" condition
                     groups attributes, while the "or"
                     condition separates "and" groups
                     information for multiple attributes.

                     Type the same character to group
                     attributes with an "and" condition and a
                     different character to group "or"
                     conditions. The system interprets "and"
                     conditions first. Note: The system
                     identifies blank fields as a character.
                     If you identify two attributes and type
                     a character in this field for one
                     attribute, the "or" condition defaults.

                     For example, you want to compare totals
                     for unreleased (0) transactions in
                     period 12, released (1) transactions in
                     period 12, and posted (5) transactions
                     in period 12:

                     FIELD        VALUE RANGE      OR GROUP
                     --------------------------------------
                     Status       0-0                   1
                     Period       12-12                 1
                     Status       1-1
                     Period       12-12
                     Status        5-5                  2
                     Period       12-12                 2

                     The system looks at Trans Status 0-0
                     "and" Period 12-12 first, "or" Trans
                     Status 1-1 "and" Period 12-12, "or"
                     Trans Status 5-5 "and" Period 12-12.

SWS-SEQ-NUMBER       Numeric 6
Record Sequence      A unique number assigned to each
Number               transaction to be transferred into the
                     Lawson system.


SWS-MATRIX-CAT       Alpha 12
Attribute            Attribute name assigned to an object
                     (like accounting unit) to track
                     additional information.  Attribute
                     values may then be used in selection and
                     sorting for report and analysis.
