The Hold Code logic can be used to refine and control the ability to rent vehicles beyond the controls imposed by the use of Vehicle Status Codes. Refer to the chapter of this manual titled Introduction to Hold Codes for an overview of how this logic works.

Use this program to check to see if certain types of Hold Codes on non-sold vehicles from the owning location should be updated.

For Hold Codes that are type “R” (registration renewal):

The program compares the Tab Expiration date in the Vehicle's record to the current system date. ( The system date is subtracted from the Tab Expiration date.) If the difference is greater than the warning days designated in the “R” type Hold Code, the Vehicle History record for registration renewal will be closed and the phrase “REGISTRATION RENEWED” will be entered on it.

If the difference is less than the warning days designated in the “R” type Hold Code and the vehicle doesn't have a Hold Code with the “R” logic applied to it, a new Vehicle History record (Code 97) will be created.

For Hold Codes that are type “G” (grounding):

A similar comparison is made between the Grounding Date from the Vehicle's record to the system date. (The system date is subtracted from the Grounding Date.) If the difference is greater than the warning days designated in the “G” type Hold Code and the Grounding Odometer less the current odometer is greater than the warning odometer units, the Vehicle History record for grounding will be closed and the phrase “GROUNDING EXTENDED” will be entered on it.

If the difference is less than than the warning days or less than the warning odometer units, a new Vehicle History record (Code 97) will be created.

This program can be set up to run automatically each night or it can be run manually by selecting it from the menu.
