Release 1475 addresses several HCRA issues based on real
world experience:

- Programs PPEA006 and PPEM107, both dealing with separations,
   are modified to establish a HCRA termination date only when the
   employee is enrolled in HCRA.

- PPEM338 is modified to also initialize the BRS effective date for
   GTN 338 (HCRA) whenever the corresponding G-balance is
   initialized.  Previously the effective date was left in place for
   SHPS reporting, but GTN editing expects both or neither to be
   present and, per the release letter, the edit error can block the
   update of other unrelated GTN's.

- PPEG338 performs HCRA consistency edits and contains logic
   that blocks implied maintenance when errors are encountered.
   In r1475, that blocking is bypassed if the program being executed
   is PPP130, i.e., the transactions being processed are from IVR/web
   and are presumed to be correct.  This particular modification
   came about as a result of Santa Cruz (and other campuses)
   abending when processing an IVR/web transaction with a HCRA
   effective date earlier than the HCRA termination date that was
   already in the EDB for the employee.

A one-time cleanup program, PPOT1475, is issued to remove HCRA
effective dates from the BRS table and initialize termination dates in the
BEN table for employees who are not currently enrolled.  A control report
giving the counts of deleted/initialized employees is produced.

There are no table updates.

Although marked as "not urgent", the release letter recommends that
r1475 be installed as soon as possible.  It could save us some
production abends and protect you from blocking of unrelated GTN
updates.  Ok to install?
