 In the case of a check for the instructor of record, the following can

     request permanently  
 (c) pending - the requestor is not the recorded instructor, but could

   =item validate_crsreq()
   
   This is used to check whether a course request should be processed
   automatically, or held in a queue pending administrative action at
   the institution.
   
   Course requests will trigger this check if the process type has been set 
   to 'validate' for the course type (official, unofficial or community) and
   the requestor's affiliation.  Whether "validate" is an available option
   in the Domain Configuration menu is controlled by auto_courserequest_checks(). 
   One scenario is where the request is for an official course, in which case
   a check could be made that the requestor is listed as instructor of 
   record for the course in the institution's course schedule/database.
   
   Other scenarios are possible, and the routine can be customized according
   to whatever rules a domain wishes to implement to run validations against
   given the data passed in to the routine.
   
   validate_crsreq takes six arguments -
    (a) the LON-CAPA domain that will contain the course.
    (b) the username:domain for the course owner.
    (c) the course type (official, unofficial or community)
    (d) a comma-separated list of institutional affiliations of 
        the course owner.
    (e) the institutional code (in the MSU case this is a concatenation of
    semester code, department code, and course number, e.g., fs03nop590.
    (f) a comma-separated list of institutional sections included in
        the course request (only applicable to official courses).
   
   A valid courserequest is confirmed by returning 'process'.
   The following can be returned: process, rejected, pending, approval or error (with error condition - no :), followed by a : and then an optional message. 
   
   (a) process  - the requestor is the recorded instructor - create the course
   (b) reject - the requestor should never be requesting this course, reject the
       request permanently
   (c) pending - the requestor is not the recorded instructor, but could
       become so after administrative action at the institution. Put the
       request in a queue and check localenroll:validate_instcode()
       periodically until the status changes to "valid".
   (d) approval - the request will be held pending review by a Domain Coordinator.
   (e) error (followed by the error condition).

   =item crsreq_checks()
   
   This is used to determine whether the "validate" option should appear in the
   possible choices for course request processing in the Domain Configuration 
   menu for Course Requests. Ultimately it is called by domainprefs.pm (via: 
   lonnet -> lond -> localenroll.pm) The domain configuration menu includes 
   a table where columns are course type (official, unofficial or community) 
   and rows are institutional affiliations (e.g., Faculty, Staff, Student etc.).
   
   crsreq_checks() takes three arguments: $dom, $reqtyes, $validations.
   $dom - the domain for which validation options are needed.
   $reqtypes - ref to an ARRAY of course types (i.e., official, unofficial and community.
   $validations - ref to a hash of a hash which will determine whether "validate"
   will be one of the possible choices for each course type (outer hash key),
   and institutional type (inner hash key).
   
   For example to allow validate to be a choice for official classes for Faculty,
   req_checks would include:
   
   $validations{'official'}{'Faculty'} = 1;
   
   This routine is closely tied to validate_crsreq(). "Validate" should not be
   a possible choice in the domain configuration menu for a particular course
   type/institutional affiliation, unless a corresponding validation code has
   been implemented in validate_crsreq().
   
   For example at MSU, official courses requested by Faculty will be validated
   against the official schedule of classes to check that the requestor is one
   of the instructors of record for the course.  In this case validate_crsreq()
   includes a call to validate_instcode().
