Description:
After the tables are created on the database, an initial record(also called an initial entry) is written inthe SID tables and in themaster data tables of a characteristic.
This test checks whether there are valid initial records in theSID tables and in the master data tables. Depending on themaster data table, an initial record has different forms:

• In a SID table, the initial record has the following
structure: The value of the characteristic and (if the characteristicis compounded) the value of the higher-level characteristic are blank.The SID field is also blank (=0). The three indicatorsCHCKFL, DATAFL and INCFL have the value 'X
'.

• For initial records in a
P-table all the fields areblank, with the exception of the OBJVERS field, which has thevalue 'A'.

• The initial record of a
Q-table consists of blankfields, with the exception of OBJVERS = 'A', DATEFROM ='01.01.1000' and DATETO ='31.12.9999'.

• In a X-table all the
fields are blank, with the exception of the OBJVERS field, whichhas the value 'A'.

• In a Y-table all the
fields are blank, with the exception of the OBJVERS field thatinitially has the value 'A', DATEFROM = '01.01.1000
' and DATETO = '31.12.9999'.
