  • 1744 - one BASE + four J1+ four J2 + one K2 + one K4 + one L1 sub-segments
3 CBU_MONTHS_CLOSED_LIMIT This parameter dictates the system that, how many times, that the system should report if the account is paid off / closed.
4 CBU_FILE_FREQUENCY This parameter is used to set the Metro II File Frequency and determine whether output file is to be generated daily or monthly. If this is monthly, then output file is written with daily data but generated monthly.
System Parameters
5 METROII_RETRY_SKIP_ACC_IND

If an account is skipped on the day of Bill Generation or on the Due Day (during the month), and if this parameter is set it as ‘Y’, then system will try again on the month end.

6 METROII_BASE_DT_CLOSE_IND

If CURRENT_DUE_AMT = amount equal to the actual bill generated

If STANDARD_PAYMENT_AMT = amount equal to the contract payment amount

9 CBU_APND_COMPANY_TO _FILENAME
