REPORT OFFICIAL LANGUAGES INFORMATION#

The Report Official Languages Information (REOLA) report will produce a report and a series of files for submission to the Canadian government in support of the Official Languages Information System II Version 2 (OLIS II).

Set Up Required#

All data must be entered for each employee in the system in order to generate this report.

A list of valid bilingual regions is stored in a 'fixed' lexicon with the lexicon name X_BILINGUAL_REGIONS.

The X_BILINGUAL_SUPERVISORS lexicon is a user defined lexicon used only in L2 table of this report to account for the number of supervisors who are required to be bilingual. A starter set of data is provided that looks like this, but you must fill in the appropriate number for each region.

QO	Quebec - Other

If you need to change the number of supervisors required to be bilingual for the particular bilingual region described above, then 'Displayed Value' and 'Meaning' for that region must be changed from '0' to that number.

Only numeric values can be used for that lexicon.
