  • 1.  PSXLATITEM - Translate Value Items

    Posted 10-15-2025 12:31 PM

    Hi SQL experts,

    Does anyone have any documentation (job aid) for working with translate values, particularly, how to join the PSXLATITEM (Translate Value Items) record on a student table such as STDTN_ENRL? I am trying to get the translate value for GRADING_BASIS_ENRL specifically. But really just looking for a go-to doc. 

    Thanks in advance!

    We don't have grading basis on the translate table. It is on a setup table, GRADE_BASIS_TBL.

     

     

    SELECT A.EMPLID, A.STRM, A.CLASS_NBR, A.GRADING_BASIS_ENRL
      FROM PS_STDNT_ENRL A, PS_GRADE_BASIS_TBL B
      WHERE ( A.STRM = '1257'
         AND B.GRADING_BASIS = A.GRADING_BASIS_ENRL
         AND B.GRADING_SCHEME = A.GRADING_SCHEME_ENR
         AND B.EFFDT =
            (SELECT MAX(B_ED.EFFDT) FROM PS_GRADE_BASIS_TBL B_ED
            WHERE B.SETID = B_ED.SETID
              AND B.GRADING_SCHEME = B_ED.GRADING_SCHEME
              AND B_ED.EFFDT <= SYSDATE))

    Hi - 

    The codes and descriptive values you see / use in the Grading Basis Table for the Grading Basis field come from the translate table:
