| PublicationDate: 7/26/2000 Summary: Development of EDExpress Version 6.2.2 Service Release Author: General Manager: SFA Student Channel Posted on July 26, 2000 TO: All EDExpress Users FROM: U.S. Department of Education RE: Development of EDExpress Version 6.2.2 Service Release The Department wishes to alert all 2000-2001 EDExpress users we are developing a service release, Version 6.2.2, to resolve several software issues. This service release will be an upgrade to Version 6.2.1. Version 6.2.2 will be available shortly for download from the Department's SFAdownload Web site at http://fsadownload.ed.gov/index.htm. We will send an additional message to the community when the installation file is posted to the site. The software configuration management issues resolved by Version 6.2.2 are explained below by module: Application Processing 1) CM #2658: An Assumption Edit will be added to ENAS calculations to ensure parents are not counted in the Parents' Number in College field for dependent students. 2) CM #2892: The software will always use the most current NSLDS data when printing ISIR records, regardless of the transaction selected. 3) CM #2900: All FAA Comments will print when the "Print FAA Comments?" option is marked on the print dialog screen for single/multiple ISIR and List-Processed ISIRs reports. Direct Loan 1) CM #2728: The Net Adjustment amount will be calculated correctly when three or more Net Adjustments (Action Type "J") are added to the same disbursement record via manual entry or import of an External Change or Promissory Note Acknowledgment file. 2) CM #2758: Direct Loan External Export will no longer generate a "no records selected" error message when attempting to export loan records with no actual disbursement information saved using a file format code with all Direct Loan fields selected. 3) CM #2863: Import External Change will correctly update the Field Transmit numbers for the fields First Name, Middle Initial, Last Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone Number, License State and License Number. This will then ensure modifications to these fields are picked up during the LOC Change Export process. 4) CM #2905: Schools will no longer receive a "Reserve 1601" error message when performing an LOC Change Export. Resolving this issue will also ensure data flags (such as Inactive Flag, Additional Unsub?, and Interview Completed) are not improperly or randomly set to incorrect values on the loan record. Pell 1) CM #2858: The software will no longer generate a Dr. Watson error when a Pell Year-to-Date (PGYR00OP) file is received with no detail records. 2) CM #2870: The Import Edit Report for PGYR00OP files will now calculate and display cents correctly. NOTE: The data is stored correctly in the database and will print correctly on the List - Processed Disbursements Year-to-Date report via File | Print | Pell. 3) CMs #2793 and #2895: Multiple Reporting Record (MRR) import files will no longer modify a school's database or create transfer records. The files will now generate an import edit report only. If you have any questions, please contact CPS Customer Service at 800/330-5947 or via email at CPS@NCS.COM.
