Caesar II calculates all three code stresses for B31.8 Ch VIII (Hoop, Longitudinal, and Equivalent) and compares each to its allowable stress. Then the one that is the highest percentage of its allowable is the one that is reported in the code stress column. You don't have to check anything by hand.
