Diploma Categories

The GetClassCreditXRefInt common function is used by a number of reports to identify the diploma category (or categories) to which the credit earned by a student for a particular course is assigned.
On some reports the diploma category is used directly (e.g. Status Sheet, Secondary Report Card) and on others (e.g. Status Sheet, OST, OCAS/OUAC, OnSIS) it is used to determine whether the credit is to be considered compulsory credit.
The function returns a record for each course in which a student has earned credit, each record containing the diploma category and the number of credits from the course assigned to that category (the credit for a course can be split between categories). The function uses the following categories:
These are the categories shown on the Status Sheet report. All categories except '99 – Optional' are considered compulsory categories.
