RE: Issue Alert: SAR C Change Flag Values Listed Incorrectly in Electronic Data Exchange Technical Reference 2004-2005
The CPS would like to alert users of third-party software to an error in the Electronic Data Exchange (EDE) Technical Reference 2004-2005. The value for the SAR C Change Flag is listed incorrectly. The issue will not affect EDExpress users, but may affect third-party software users and/or mainframe or “home-grown” systems.
The EDE Technical Reference 2004-2005 lists valid values for the SAR C Change Flag (position 673 in the ISIR record) as “1” (SAR C Flag has changed) and Blank (No change to the flag). The actual values are “Y” (SAR C Flag has changed) and Blank (No change to the flag).
The SAR C Change Flag values will be corrected in a future update to the EDE Technical Reference. An announcement will be posted when the technical reference is updated.
