ATTN: ACE ABI Software Developers

ACE validations to ensure that data is not submitted in fields to be reported as spaces in ACE ABI control records (also known as filler fields) are scheduled to be deployed to ACE Production in the near future. The validations have already deployed in ACE Certification (as of 5/7/14). Another CSMS message will be issued to announce when the validations will be deployed in ACE Production.

The following identifies the data fields on the ACE ABI control records which are filler fields (space only to be reported) for which a reject will be returned. The reject will be fatal and will indicate “DATA FOUND IN FILLER” at the block and batch level. Consequently the reject will only include A, B, Y, and Z records giving the impression that there was no response to the input transmission.

These filler fields are documented in the ACE ABI CATAIR Batch & Block Control chapter and are listed below:

A-Record, positions 23-25, 28-37, and 40-59

B-Record, positions 13-44 and 57-59

Y-Record, positions 2-3, 18-44, and 47-80

Z-Record, positions 23-37 and 40-80

Please contact your Client Representative should you have any questions or comments.
