Del - look upwards:
From October:
"Reduce Data Volumes and Improve Performance by Producing Fewer Run Result Values (New feature)
Oracle Payroll has enhanced the payroll run to eliminate unwanted run result values. The payroll run no longer saves null run results, that is, those run results that do not contain a value. This change improves the performance of the payroll run and reduces the space needed for the run results.
Do not implement this feature if you have written your own reports that depend on null result values. Oracle Payroll does not suppress null run results unless your System Administrator has enabled this feature by:
Checking that the Generic Upgrade Mechanism contains an upgrade called Enable Sparse Matrix Null Run Result Values Functionality
Running the Enable Sparse Matrix Null Run Result Values Functionality upgrade
"
