Understanding the Report Output Table

The report output tables in this guide include the following elements:

• Data Element – The name of the data element.
• Description – Additional information about the data element, including state reporting rules.
• [Table] – The name of the table where the data is stored.
• Field Name – The name of the field where the data is stored.

Note: The Table name appears in brackets with the Field Name directly following. Example: [Table]FieldName.

• Start/End Position – The position of the data element in the report. For example, if there is a string of data elements, such as 2009YNYN08091989, the particular element may start at position 5. In this example, position 5 is Y.
• Field Length – The length of the data element when extracted.
