| Include All Pays (Testing) | Toggle |
| For Pay Ending Date | Mandatory, Date, LOV available Usually the last pay date processed. |
| Include Elected Officials | Mandatory, LOV available <No> If the User Field of 'ELECETED OFFICIAL' has a 'Y' on the Employee's Benefit Enrollment form then they may be included or excluded from the report/interface. |

| Sort By Name | Mandatory, LOV available Employees will be printed in this person code order unless this parameter is <Yes> |
| Create File | Mandatory, LOV available The report may be run without creating an interface file (normally for testing purposes). |
| Interface Code | Mandatory, LOV available Only those reports of the format “CAPERS Diskette” will display. Choose from the report formats created. The format “HL$CAPERS” has been provided as a sample, but should be copied, and the copy edited, by the client before running this report. The report definition selected will determine the format of the output file (if any), as well as the columnar content of the report. |
| Interface Directory | Mandatory, text Must be a directory on the server for which the current user (as signed onto the client’s network) has write capability. For example, the entry ‘C:\TEMP’ accesses the ‘TEMP’ directory on the server, not the local directory for the computer terminal being used. |
| File Name | Mandatory, text Enter the name of the file that will be created in the interface directory specified. |
| Exception Level | Mandatory, LOV available A ‘trace’ report of exception messages may be produced to assist in the testing phase. If necessary, choose from 0 – 9 (highest) level of trace. Please note that this is a voluminous report and will cause very slow performance. |
| Trial | Mandatory, LOV available The report may be run in trial mode (Yes) or update mode (No) |
| User Comment | Optional, text Users may enter a comment here that will appear on the selection criteria (header page) of the report. This is useful during testing phases to identify similar reports from each other. |
