Quest work in SCHDPROC: 

Run queries that are course clean-up related. This is just to ensure that we have good information.  

UW_RS_SCH_AUTO_NO_AUTO_ENRL_NP 

UW_RS_CEM_TOPICS_W_SEC_COMP_KW 

UW_RS_SCH_CAMP_NO_SEC_CAMP_SB (ie FR 192B has one STJ section but ORL have only UW) 

UW_RS_MISMATCH_UNIT_SESSION_SB 

UW_RS_MISSMATCH_PCS_VCB  

UW_RS_PCS_BUT_NO_REAL_SB  

UW_RS_PCS_BUT_CANCEL_REAL_SB 

 

Run queries that are students and reserve cap related: 

...

UW_RS_CEM_MODE_NE_PCS_MODE_NP – If not using student demand this query is not required 

UW_RS_RESERVE_CAP_ORDER_NP 

UW_RS_RSRV_CAP_COND_PROB_JV 

UW_RS_MISSING_PARENTH_NP 

UW_RS_MISSMATCH_PARENTH_NP – Tells you how many parenthesis are not matched 

UW_RS_MISSMATCH_PARENTH_NEW_JV – Tells you which RQ’s are missing parenthesis 

UW_RS_MISS_RC_IN_RCWGHT_TBL_NP 

UW_RS_BLANK_WHERE_CLAUSE_NP 

UW_RS_SCH_BLANK_RSRV_CAP_NP 

UW_RS_SCH_MULTI_RSRV_CAP_NP
