Data Attribute / Type Description
LINK3
VARCHAR2
Key field linking tables at the haul level; made up of: link1 plus (4-character) haulnum. Collected for ASM where applicable.
LINK1
VARCHAR2
15-character Key field linking tables at the trip level; made up of: program + year + month + tripid. Appears as first 15 characters in all 'LINK ' fields. Collected for ASM where applicable.
PROGRAM
VARCHAR2
First three digits of links. Code that identifies program, see OBPROGRAM table. Collected for ASM where applicable.

MONTH
VARCHAR2
Month landed, the 8 - 9 characters in all link fields. Collected for ASM where applicable.
