EE Life AD/D Benefit Enrollmnt

LIFE_ADD_BEN is a record that identifies all life- and accidental death-related benefit elections for an employee. These benefits are related to the plan types in the '2X' series such as Basic Life, AD&D, Dependent Life, etc. Warning! For technical reasons, this record's schema shows that it is keyed by EMPL_RCD. This is not logically or functionally accurate. Throughout all of Base Benefits, when in the context of benefit enrollment, EMPL_RCD must be interpreted as an alias for BENEFIT_RCD_NBR. All benefit enrollment-related records are logically keyed by BENEFIT_RCD_NBR, so here EMPL_RCD actually contains the value of the appropriate BENEFIT_RCD_NBR. It is CRITICAL that all joins, comparisons, and updates to this record be against BENEFIT_RCD_NBR. Thus a typical driving join for benefit participation is PS_PER_ORG_ASGN.BENEFIT_RCD_NBR = PS_BEN_PROG_PARTIC.EMPL_RCD, and a typical join for benefit enrollment is PS_PER_ORG_ASGN.BENEFIT_RCD_NBR = PS_HEALTH_BENEFIT.EMPL_RCD. The security and search views used in Base Benefits perform this "mapping" internally.
