TO: ALL ABI FILERS USING THE 5201 ADD, TI/TR, APPLICATION
*
SINCE THE TRANSFER OF 5106 PROCESSING FROM ACS TO ACE A NUMBER OF
PROBLEMS WITH THE TI/TR APPLICATION HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. ONE ISSUE THAT
NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED INVOLVES A CHANGE IN THE WAY APARTMENT NUMBERS,
SUITE NUMBERS, ETC. ARE REPORTED BY THE TRADE IN THE 5106 ADD MESSAGE.
CURRENT INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR THE TRADE TO REPORT APARTMENT OR SUITE
NUMBERS IN LINE ONE OF THE MAILING ADDRESS, T1 RECORD POSITIONS 48-79.
THIS HAS CAUSED SOME PROBLEMS RESULTING IN EITHER REJECTION TO THE TRADE
FOR INVALID ADDRESSES, OR WITH THE WAY ACE STORES THE APARTMENT OR SUITE
NUMBER AND WRITES IT BACK TO ACS.
*
IT IS REQUESTED THAT THE TRADE BEGIN SENDING APARTMENT NUMBERS AND SUITE
NUMBERS IN LINE TWO OF THE MAILING ADDRESS, T2 RECORD POSITIONS 15-46 OF
A 5106 ADD MESSAGE. ADDITIONALLY, IT IS REQUESTED THAT THE FOLLOWING
ABREVIATIONS BE USED: APT FOR APARTMENT OR STE FOR SUITE. PLEASE NOTE
THAT WHEN THE FIX FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS MOVED INTO PRODUCTION
ACE WILL ACCEPT APARTMENT NUMBERS OR SUITE NUMBERS TRANSMITTED IN EITHER
LINE ONE OF THE MAILING ADDRESS, T1 RECORD, OR IN LINE TWO OF THE
MAILING ADDRESS, T2 RECORD.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS EFFORT AND WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY
PROBLEMS THAT THIS MAY CAUSE.
