DETAILED DEFINITION
6. This variable indicates whether any aim for the learner is franchised. For every aim, the calculation looks at Franchised Out or Partnership Arrangement (A21).
7. This excludes those aims that are not included for analytical purposes (using A_ACTIVE).
8. Note that where Franchised Out or Partnership Arrangement (A21) has a value of 27, an aim is exempt from the FE funding franchised discount but Does the Learner Have Any Franchised Aims (L_FRANCH) can still have a value of 1.
Franchised Aim Sample Code
1. The following SPSS code is provided to illustrate the Franchised Aim data definition.
L_FRANCH, A_FRANCH
2. The following table shows the steps required to derive A_FRANCH
| Step |
Condition |
Action/Action if true |
Action if false |
| 1 |
Do any A21<>99 |
Set A_FRANCH to 1 |
Set A_FRANCH to 0 |
3. The following table shows the steps required to derive L_FRANCH
| Step |
Condition |
Action/Action if true |
Action if false |
| 1 |
Does A_ACTIVE=1 |
Go to 2. |
Set L_FRANCH=-1 |
| 2 |
(Aggregate)
For all aims where the Provider (L01) and Learner (L03) are the same. |
Set L_FRANCH to be the maximum value of the aims in A_FRANCH. |
|
| Step |
Condition |
Action/Action if true |
Action if false |
| 1 |
Does L_FRANCH contain a value |
None |
Set L_FRANCH = -1 |
| 2 |
Does L_ACTIVE=0 |
Set L_FRANCH=-1 |
None |
