This week, we are posting our first "JD Edwards Hidden Gems" post. These are bits of JD Edwards information that you may not find any documentation for anywhere, not even Oracle, thus the adjective "hidden". They are gems because they reveal system functionality which may cut down on typing or help your troubleshooting endeavors. Let's get into our first one - P1202QAD.

It is not uncommon to have different Life Months inside a single asset class, making P1202QAD a huge time-saver over manual updates of each different Life.
