Special Cases

Instead of specifying a cfNo for the returned column value, there are several special cases where you specify the following value instead:

MSLPRICE - returns the price of the MSL title whose mslNo is sent or referenced, by first determining if the price should be the price to charge or the market price (based on the system setting), then determining if the title is an upgrade (in which case the upgrade price will be returned), and then determining if the title is on the entitlement list for the current asset and/or user.  For workstation requests, if the workstation is currently authorized for the title, the price will be returned as 0.00 with an explanation of (already authorized).

MSLFAMILY - returns the MSL family for the MSL title whose mslNo is sent or referenced.

MSLTITLE - returns the MSL title description for the MSL title whose mslNo is sent or referenced.  If the title is an upgrade, the phrase "(UPGD)" will be inserted at the beginning.

MSLAUTH - returns how the MSL title is set to be authorizaed for the mslNo sent or referenced.

AUTHUNITS - If the current MSL title is authorized for the current asset/user/group, then the unit count authorized is returned.  Otherwise "N/A" is returned.

AUTHDATE - If the current MSL title is authorized for the current asset/user/group, then the date authorized is returned.  Otherwise "N/A" is returned.
