  2. RPAM Calculations - fixed a problme with partial periods where credit was not given for partial periods where less than 50 retirement points were accrued. For example, if a soldier had a period of service for 6 months, and accrued 25 retirement points, they SHOULD get credit for that time.

Release 1.78 - Feb 2010

  1. RPAM Calculations - fixed an issue with the Total Service for Retired Pay calculations (used by Discharges). Problem was where an RPAM record, which was not the last record in a given year, had a non-zero CURR_YR_RET_PT that was less than 50, but the year's total retirement points were actually greater than 50. During the Total Service for Retired Pay calculations, this period would NOT be given as credit when it should have been.
  2. RPAM Calculations - fixed a 2nd issue with Total Service for Retired Pay calculations. Problem was where there was a period with a CURR_YR_RET_PT of 0 and the next period with a non-zero CURR_YR_RET_PT spanned into a different year. The system would use the CURR_YR_RET_PT from the following year to determine whether the soldier had 50 points and the time was eligible for retirement, when it should have used a 0 for the retirement points for the year.
