Release of NSLDS SSCR Error Notification/Acknowledgment Files

PublicationDate: 11/19/96
Summary: Release of NSLDS SSCR Error Notification/Acknowledgment Files
Author: NSLDS - National Student Loan Data System


November 19, 1996

From: U.S. Department of Education
To: NSLDS Users
Subject: Release of NSLDS SSCR Error Notification/Acknowledgment Files

NSLDS began producing SSCR Error/Acknowledgment files
this week. The files are identified by message class
DICA97OP. During this dress rehearsal period, schools should
correct the records and return the error files to NSLDS within
30 days of receipt. Please use version 2.5 of EDExpress when
working the SSCR error file. (In the future, when this dress
rehearsal period is over, you should plan to return an SSCR
error file within 10 days.)

If you have submitted your SSCR, but have not yet received
your error/acknowledgment file by November 22, 1996, please
verify that you used the correct message class to send in the
SSCR to start with (DECR97IN). If that is not the problem,
your SSCR may be among the group received by NSLDS that
had bad header records and could therefore not be processed.
NSLDS Customer Service Center ((800) 999-8219) will be able
to assist in locating some files, but a few of the files received
are not identifiable.

Schools that have still not submitted their SSCR should
continue to work on it and return it to NSLDS as soon as
possible.

The error codes for the SSCR error files have been revised
slightly. The up to date list is:
