Accumulator Code
The system provides six levels of accumulators to develop subtotals and totals for all columns of data on Financial Statements. Assign a single-digit accumulator code to each Financial Statement line description record for which amounts or quantities should be accumulated for printing. Separate accumulators are maintained for financial and statistical amounts. The accumulator code controls printing and clearing of these accumulator levels. Typically, single line amounts are assigned low accumulator codes. Subtotal, total, and grand total lines are assigned higher codes. Valid codes and their functions are as follows:
0 - Prints line description only; does not print amounts
1 - Prints level 1 accumulators and resets them to zero
2 - Prints level 2 accumulators and resets levels 1 and 2 to zero
3 - Prints level 3 accumulators and resets levels 1, 2, and 3 to zero
4 - Prints level 4 accumulators and resets levels 1, 2, and 3 to zero
5 - Prints level 5 accumulators and resets levels 1 through 4 to zero
6 - Prints level 6 accumulators and resets levels 1 through 5 to zero
9 - Returns printing to the top of the next page before processing the next line description record.
