Go to PENSIM input parameters overview
PENSIM: PENCHAR . id
Identifies pension plan characteristics imputation model parameters specified on this row of table, so id value should be unique.
Valid values: 1 to 999999999, Integer
PENSIM: PENCHAR . notes
Describes specification of table row in free-form note.
Valid values: any ASCII text, Memo (Note: do not copy and paste from a word processor because of the possibility of embedded non-ASCII characters.)
PENSIM: PENCHAR . no_plans
Specifies whether or not any pension plans exist. A value of true turns off the pension plan imputation logic. The standard setting is F, so that pension plans are imputed when the employer sponsors.
Valid values: T (=1) or F (=0) (for true or false), Logical
PENSIM: PENCHAR . no_db_elig
Specifies whether or not anyone ever becomes eligible for a DB pension plan. A value of true causes nobody to become eligible for a DB pension. The standard setting is F, so that people become eligible for plans according to DB plan rules. This parameter controls eligibility for all DB plans including cash-account (or cash-balance) plans.
Valid values: T (=1) or F (=0) (for true or false), Logical
PENSIM: PENCHAR . no_tdb_elg
Specifies whether or not anyone ever becomes eligible for a traditional DB pension plan. A value of true causes nobody to become eligible for a traditional DB pension. The standard setting is F, so that people become eligible for plans according to traditional DB plan rules. This parameter controls eligibility for all DB plans except for non-traditional cash-account (or cash-balance) plans.
Valid values: T (=1) or F (=0) (for true or false), Logical
PENSIM: PENCHAR . no_dc_elig
Specifies whether or not anyone ever becomes eligible for a DC pension plan. A value of true causes nobody to become eligible for a DC pension. The standard setting is F, so that people become eligible for plans according to DC plan rules. This parameter controls eligibility for all DC plans.
Valid values: T (=1) or F (=0) (for true or false), Logical

Specifies random number stream used for the nilplan uniform random number generator. This stream number cannot be used for another purpose in this run.
Valid values: 0 to 59, Integer
PENSIM: PENCHAR . pen_rnstrm

Specifies random number stream used for the plan-conversion normal random number generator. This stream number cannot be used for another purpose in this run.
Valid values: 0 to 59, Integer
PENSIM: PENCHAR . dbf_rnstrm
Specifies random number stream used for the DB plan freeze characteristics uniform random number generator. This stream number cannot be used for another purpose in this run.
Valid values: 0 to 59, Integer
PENSIM: PENCHAR . sicforsic9
Specifies SIC used in plan mix, type, and characteristics imputation in place of SIC9 (government). The standard and realistic value for this variable is 9, so that government jobs have government-style pensions imputed to them. In certain counter-factual analysis situations, this variable may be assigned a value corresponding to a private-sector industry (0..8) so that government jobs have private-style pensions imputed to them.
Valid values: 0 to 9, Integer
