Database Question - VIII

Post by scout1 »

What specifically does the suffix field represent in the "loc" info. The editor manual appears to state this is a modifier for tracking, such as "Bn". However, many of the HQ's have a data in the suffix field of "46". Anyone know what this represents ?

Well. Glad you asked.

The last digit (0-9) of the suffix is a more detailed level for the unit type.
eg the HQ has a type of 4. If it has a suffix, then the HQ refers to a formation level of [Army, Group, Division, etc] ie suffix 46 means it is a Army HQ.

If the suffix is present, the value of the suffix is equal to (10*Type + (1-9 depending on the unit type)). Note that the value 1-9 varies with the type value.

The WITPtabs.csv shows the various digit suffix codes.
