Reading US PCL4 W2 tax results

127 Views

I have to make changes to a program that reads US W2 tax results as stored in the PCL4 cluster.

For a given employee, the existing program chooses the results that it wants by examining the contents of the TXTF[] table and AMTF[] table.

Simple enough, but the AMTF[] table has a variety of value types in it, such as

AMTF-FIELD = T102

AMTF-FIELD = T102_01

where the corresponding amount for both these entries is the same. Can anyone tell me what the meaning of "T102_01" is, as opposed to "T012"?

In another case, the TXTF field values are

TXTF-FIELD = T104_01

TXTF-FIELD = V001_01

where the corresponding texts are the same.

In some cases the existing program code looks at the TXTF values that start with T, and at other times the program looks at the V entries. In making new changes to the program, I do not know whether my new logic should be looking at the T* values, or the V* values. Can anybody tell me anything about these tables & entries, or tell me where I could find SAP documentation on this?

Thanks
