RE: Changes to the 2004-2005 EDE Technical Reference
DATE: April 2, 2004
The upcoming EDExpress for Windows 2004-2005, Release 2.0, fixes an issue that under some circumstances truncates error message text that is contained in EAPR05OP, CORE05OP and SIGA05OP files. The issue only affects schools using third-party software or mainframe systems to create initial application files (EAPS05IN), correction files (CORR05IN) and/or signature files (SIGS05IN), and then import the returned error files (EAPR05OP, CORE05OP and/or SIGA05OP) into EDExpress.
The changes listed below will be made in an updated version of the 2004-2005 Electronic Data Exchange (EDE) Technical Reference. A message will be posted when a new version of the technical reference is available.
In the , page 3-4 (EDE Record Level Error Report Import Record Layout), the values will be updated to the following:
| Field #10 | |||
| Changes | Field Name | Valid Content | Justify |
| Modified field name and valid content | Invalid content or Error | 0 to 9 | Left |
| Message Text | Uppercase A to Z | ||
| This field will contain the actual invalid data submitted by the destination or error message text if field 11 is blank. | . (Period) ' (Apostrophe) - (Dash) , (Comma) # (Number) @ (At) % (Percent or care of) & (Ampersand) / (Slash) Space(s) * (Asterisk) See 'Record and Transmission Errors' table in the Processing Codes section of this technical reference. |
