# SQL-023: Employer-liability limits retrieval

`clsPolicyPeriod` uses this call to load the employer-liability coverage limits in force for a policy period. The procedure falls back through a hierarchy from policy-specific limits to legacy defaults.

## Classification

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **SQL ID** | SQL-023 |
| **Operation type** | Read |
| **Execution method** | Stored procedure |
| **Database** | Oracle |
| **Schema** | `[unqualified]`** |
| **Command type** | StoredProcedure |
| **Business object** | `clsPolicyPeriod` |
| **Criteria property** | `GetSpecificELCBLimitsSQL` |
| **Lifecycle method** | `RetrieveEmployerLiabLimits` |

## Parameters

| Parameter | Direction | Type | Max length | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `:apolicynum` | Input | Decimal | not specified | Policy number whose coverage limits are requested. |
| `:PeriodEffDate` | Input | Date | not specified | Policy period effective date whose employer-liability limits are requested. |
| `recordset` | Output (Cursor) | REF CURSOR | N/A | Result set of the employer-liability statutory code and up to three formatted limit amounts. |

## Tables

No table is referenced directly in the .NET source. The tables read by the procedure body reside in the Oracle database and are described under [coveragelimits_pkg](../procedures/coveragelimits_pkg.md).

## Sample SQL

```sql
-- Stored procedure call (procedure body resides in the Oracle database - WCIS_DBA.coveragelimits_pkg)
CALL coveragelimits_pkg.getSpecificLimitsForPolicyNum(
  aPolicyNum    => :apolicynum,
  PeriodEffDate => :PeriodEffDate,
  recordset     => :recordset)  -- REF CURSOR output
```
