Nation Code Validation (STVNATN) page

Use the Nation Code Validation (STVNATN) page to create, update, insert, and delete nation codes, such as Australia, France, Iceland, and so on.

Pages in several modules use this page to validate the nation codes. You can create and update these codes only from this page.

Note: All Banner® systems share this validation page. You should coordinate with other Banner system users at your institution when deciding what codes are used on this page.

Described below are two potential sources for country code standards. These are by no means the only references available, and the company does not officially endorse them. These sources are merely suggested material.

For information on standards for country codes, you may refer to the book Codes for Educational and Cultural Exchange which is printed by the United States Information Agency. These codes are updated as countries change and are renamed, and the updates are supplied by the agency. To order the book, contact the agency at the following address.

Another publication of standards you may refer to is the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 10-3, which is used by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce. The U.S. Dept. of Commerce uses a two (2) character code abbreviation for all nations. If you call and ask for FIPS Publication 10-3 and all change notices to date, they will send them to you free of charge and will also put you on a list to receive future revisions. You may contact the department at the following address.
