### sp73089_get_policy_bound_flag

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Returns** | VARCHAR2 — `Y` or `N` |
| **Called by** | `clsPolicyData.GetCoverageBoundFlag` |
| **SQL document** | [SQL-014](../sql/SQL-014-coverage-bound-flag.md) |

**Description:** Returns whether a policy in application status has bound coverage for a period effective date.

#### Parameters

| Parameter | Direction | Type | Default | Description |

## Business Rules

Rules extracted from this function's logic:

| Rule ID | Rule | Condition | Action |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [PROC-RULE-019](../business-rules.md#stored-procedure-business-rules) | Coverage-bound status is a thin Y/N wrapper over an external boolean check | n/a | Returns `Y` when `sp72325_chk_if_policy_bound(in_policy_num, in_policy_period_eff_date)` is true, otherwise `N` |

> These rules are also listed under `## Stored procedure business rules` in [business-rules.md](../business-rules.md).
