See, *some* of us still call a continuing learner a "1&9" in the same way we'd call an achiever a "2&1", or a result not yet known a "2&8". But yes, as Ben says, IN THE DAYS BEFORE XML, Outcome had to have a value for every learner, even when they were still on course, and this value was 9.
Never quite worked out why the QAR team stuck with it (suspect it was easier making a blank into a 9 than rewriting a bunch of code to deal with blanks), but I do enjoy answering this question every year!!! ;)

QAR learning outcome

I have noticed in our QAR data that some aims have the learning outcome of code 9, which is not in the ILR specification. I haven't found a definition of this code in any of the QAR documents, so I wonder if anybody knows what it means?
