[VELS] Quick Vic/Markbook Reporting Administrative Timeline

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Quick one Laurie .. do you really need the  07A 07B 07C bits when 07 will
do? From what I understand the software sorts out classes / students by
teachers for marking anyway and again into students for reports. I suspect
that Markbook exports course codes .. not class codes (or are these the same
things).

Thanks for the cue about the last digit .. notice that the software rolls on
a digit for semesters etc so I will add that in for semester length courses.

Course    Classes
