IN ORDER TO CONTINUE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BORDER CARGO SELECTIVITY
ON THE NORTHERN BORDER AND TO SWITCH LINE RELEASE SITES FROM
BI-SYNC TO SDLC USERS, CUSTOMS RECENTLY MADE A CHANGE TO THE LINE
RELEASE SOFTWARE WHICH IS USED AT SMALLER PORTS. THE PORTS OF
OGDENSBURG AND MASSENA, NY, WERE SWITCHED TO THE NEW SOFTWARE ON
FEBRUARY 17, 1993. OTHER PORTS USING LINE RELEASE WILL FOLLOW.
PART OF THIS CHANGE INCLUDED A MODIFICATION OF THE XR OUTPUT TO ABI
FILERS USING LINE RELEASE. THE X20 RECORD, POSITIONS 75-77 WERE
PREVIOUSLY FILLER. THEY NOW CONTAIN NUMERIC CHARACTERS DETAILING
THE NUMBER OF X20 RECORDS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH X10 RECORD. E.G.,
AN ENTRY WITH ONE X20 RECORD WILL HAVE THE NUMERICS "001" IN
POSITION 75-77 OF THE X20 RECORD. AN ENTRY WITH THREE X20 RECORDS WILL
HAVE THE NUMERICS "001" IN POSITION 75-77 OF THE FIRST X20, NUMERICS
"002" IN THE SECOND X20 AND NUMERICS "003" IN THE THIRD X20.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS CHANGE, PLEASE CONTACT THE
CARGO CONTROL BRANCH OF ACS (202)-927-0612 OR YOUR CLIENT REP.
