Account Type (ACCT)

Account Type (ACCT) defines various codes that are used during processing. The values of these codes are fixed in the system, and you may not change them. They must remain as defined in order to obtain and maintain consistent reports from the financial system. See the User's Guide for a listing of the predefined account type codes delivered with MARS. Account Type is printed on the Detailed Transaction Listing Reports (A601 and A611) and can serve as a transaction description for users.
