In order to enter service charge instructions in the Service Charge Instructions field on the Deposits > Definitions > Service Charges screen, a specialized programming language called EZ4U must be used. See below for links to help topics explaining how to use EZ4U, as well as some basic ground rules to remember when programming service charges.

 

•EZ4U Definitions - See this help page to learn the basic vocabulary of EZ4U, which is used in the other help pages linked below. If you are already familiar with basic programming language, you may want to skip this page.

 

•EZ4U Operators - See this help page to learn about the logical and arithmetic Operators used in EZ4U. Operators are used to define the relationship between values and variables in programming Commands.

 

•EZ4U Variables - See this help page to learn about the Variables used in EZ4U and displayed in the Symbol Dictionary list on the Service Charges screen. Only variables shown in that list can be used with EZ4U, but a work order can be submitted to GOLDPoint Systems to add a variable to the list.

 

•EZ4U Commands - See this help page to learn the about the Commands used in EZ4U. When commands are validly combined with values or Variables to create a Statement, service charges are defined in the system and available for your institution to use.

 

•EZ4U Non-Command/Variable Phrases - See this help page to learn about the non-Command and non-Variable alphabetic phrases that can be used to help define service charges in EZ4U.

 

EZ4U Basic Rules

 

There are a few simple rules to remember when using EZ4U:

 

•Enter only one Statement per line.

 

•No Statements are allowed after a TABLE Command.

 

•The final service Charge amount (in other words, the result of all Statements and Commands in the Service Charge Instructions field) must be positive or zero.

 

•IF, ORIF, or ELSEIF Commands with no Expressions are always true.

 

•Commands are always processed from left to right. No Operator takes precedence over any other.

 

Service charges are assessed on individual customer accounts on the Deposits > Account Information > Service Charge Fields screen. They can be applied to products on the Product Codes screen.
