General Information for Command Code EMFOL

  1. The Employee Plans Master File on-line system provides read only access to accounts on the Employee Plans Master File (EPMF) in Martinsburg, WV. All EPMF accounts are available on-line.

2.3.64.2  (07-10-2000)
Command Code EMFOL

  1. This command code is provided to furnish access to the Employee Plans Master File. Fields available include basic identifying information, amounts, counts, dates, codes and indicators. Transaction posting and status history are also available. Additionally, for any specified account (EIN), a plan and return module index can be requested.

  2. Entity, Plan and Tax data are available on-line.

  3. A help feature provides on-line information regarding the correct input formats for the command code.

  4. Whenever possible, the entire set of requested data will be presented on a single page (screen). When all requested data cannot fit on a single page, multiple pages will be formatted for the presentation of the entire set of data. After the initial request, users may page through a multiple page response without re-entering their entry code.

  5. Abbreviated input formats permit the user to display related data without reentering a full command code.

  6. The cursor is shown as a "gray box" and will be returned on line 24, ready for a request for the next screen.

  7. Fields that may be negative will be noted on the screen display with a "_" .

2.3.64.3  (01-14-2007)
