Narrative:

I used a reference input code #1 aircraft for input code #2; the procedure is the same word-for-word with maintenance manual. Maintenance manual should have been used. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that the questioned items are codes that denote the individual company fleets. Codes are to be entered into the maintenance computer when clearing work accomplished. The job was a landing gear visual conditional check.
