# Retrieve DCBS splits

DCBS assessment processing needs the split values for a premium set

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Operation ID** | OP-011 |
| **Trigger** | DCBS assessment processing needs the split values for a premium set |
| **Inputs** | Premium set / policy identity |
| **Outputs** | Scalar split value(s) |
| **Primary components** | `clsPremiumSet.GetDCBSSplits` |
| **Entry point** | `Business\SAIF.Business.Policy.Premium\clsPremiumSet.vb` |

## Steps
1. Build an application-layer text command and execute it as a scalar through the data portal.
2. Apply the `@POLDB` suffix when the Policy database is selected.
3. Return the scalar result; consumers combine it with `DCBSSplitCount` in OP-006.
