Program Description
This program is located in the Service File Maintenance menu (SD-3-10). It stores code types and code type descriptions that have been already set up in Service Codes (SD-3-2). In order to add, change, or delete service codes, a service code must be stored in this file. Examples of codes are EM for Emergency Maintenance and GM for General Maintenance.
Rev 13 Changes
A new field has been added to the Service Code Type File Maintenance #3 Code Type Classification. First, service code types will need to be entered and a code type classification defined for each one. This is set up in the Service Codes program in Service File Maintenance (SD-3-2).
Whenever a Code Type Classification is changed, it will change all codes in CODE.DT with that code type to have the new Code Type Classification also.
Enter Procedure Type A'dd C'hange D'elete E'nd
Enter A to add a service code record. Enter C to change the existing information on a service code. Enter D to delete a record from the code file. Enter E to end out of the program and return to the File Maintenance menu.
Service Code Type

Code Type Classification
‘P’ For Problem Code Type
‘L’ For Location Code Type
‘C’ For Correction Code Type
‘R’ For Reason Code Type
‘CR’ If None of the Above Code Types
The code type classification entered needs to describe if it is a ‘P’ for problem code, ‘L’ for location code, ‘C’ for correction code, and ‘R’ for reason code. A blank classification will not be read as a code type for the listings. This program writes to the Service Code Type (SDCTYPE.DT) data file and the index file of SDCTYPE.IX. The Service Codes program can be found on the Service File Maintenance menu (SD-3-2). This program allows a user to add service codes, change the description of these codes, or delete a service code.
The following fields are described below:
Enter Procedure Type A'dd C'hange D'elete E'nd
Enter A to add a new service code. Enter C to change specific field information for a current service code. Enter D to delete a service code that is no longer being used. Enter E to end out of the program and return to the File Maintenance menu.
Service Code

Code Type
This field defines the classification associated with the service code that is created by the user (2 alphanumeric).
Code Description
This field describes the service code and its purpose to the user (30 alphanumeric).
The code type in this program corresponds to the service code types that were set up above. This program writes to the Service Codes (CODE.DT) file and the indexes of CODE.IX, CTYP.IX, and CODE2.IX. The new index of CODE2.IX will store the code type classification from the SDCTYPE.DT file. The new index of CODE2.IX will store the code type classification and the service code.
