RE: Changes to the CPS Test System User Guide for 2004-2005
The CPS has updated the CPS Test System User Guide for 2004-2005. The updated guide, along with CPS-provided input and ISIR data for the CPS Test System, is available at the U.S. Department of Education's Federal Student Aid Download (FSAdownload) Web site, located at http://FSAdownload.ed.gov, in the Technical References and Guides section.
References to the test message classes TGAP05OP and TGSA05OP have been removed, and the instructions for downloading information from FSAdownload have been revised due to changes to the Web site. The updated guide includes an Appendix that lists the pages that have changed.
The CPS Test System, along with NAS test cases and test ISIR data, will be available the week of November 24.
