Using the list of progress codes
The list of progress codes is in numeric order. The first column represents either an entire
4-character progress code or the first 4 characters of an 8-character progress code. The
second column describes the progress code and links to information that includes one or
more tables and, when necessary, a description of the table columns.
To use the list of progress codes, locate the code that you want to find in the first column and
click the link in the second column.
